Pedro Alves 4895f384b4 Don't throw Scheme exceptions with live std::vector objects
A complication with the Guile code is that we have two types of
exceptions to consider: GDB/C++ exceptions, and Guile/SJLJ exceptions.

Because Guile exceptions are SJLJ based, we must make sure to not have
live local variables of types with non-trivial dtors when a Guile
exception is thrown, because the dtors won't be run when a Guile
exceptions is thrown.

gdbscm_parse_function_args currently violates this:

 void
 gdbscm_parse_function_args (const char *func_name,
			     int beginning_arg_pos,
			     const SCM *keywords,
			     const char *format, ...)
 {
 ...
   /* Keep track of malloc'd strings.  We need to free them upon error.  */
   std::vector<char *> allocated_strings;
 ...
   for (char *ptr : allocated_strings)
     xfree (ptr);
   gdbscm_throw (status); /// dtor of "allocated_strings" is not run!
 }

This commit fixes the above making using of gdbscm_wrap.

It would be nice if we had a way to make it impossible to write such
code.  PR guile/23429 has an idea for that, if someone's interested.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
