/* Call FUNC(UIOUT, FUNC_ARGS) but wrapped within an exception
   handler.  If an exception (enum return_reason) is thrown using
   throw_exception() than all cleanups installed since
   catch_exceptions() was entered are invoked, the (-ve) exception
   value is then returned by catch_exceptions.  If FUNC() returns
   normally (with a postive or zero return value) then that value is
   returned by catch_exceptions().  It is an internal_error() for
   FUNC() to return a negative value.

   For the period of the FUNC() call: UIOUT is installed as the output
   builder; ERRSTRING is installed as the error/quit message; and a
   new cleanup_chain is established.  The old values are restored
   before catch_exceptions() returns.

   The variant catch_exceptions_with_msg() is the same as
   catch_exceptions() but adds the ability to return an allocated
   copy of the gdb error message.  This is used when a silent error is 
   issued and the caller wants to manually issue the error message.

   FIXME; cagney/2001-08-13: The need to override the global UIOUT
   builder variable should just go away.

   This function uses SETJMP() and LONGJUMP().  */
