So, to stop on exceptional conditions in gdb, I'd create a breakpoint:

This works great, but with new style exceptions the raise becomes an @throw:

if (x == 13) {
NSException *badness = [NSException exceptionWithName:@"BadLuckException"
reason:@"13 is unlucky"
userInfo:nil];
@throw badness;
}
(Don't forget "-fobjc-exceptions" when you build.)


Does anyone know how to put a breakpoint on @throw? Thanks.

@throw is mostly syntactic sugar for [NSException raise]. You can still break on raise.

@throw can throw arbitrary objects (you can @throw strings or arrays or whatever), so breaking on raise in these cases doesn't work. Of course, writing up a quick test shows that this doesn't even work when you @throw an NSException.


AFAIK, there is no way to break on an @throw. Hopefully I'm wrong. I'm not sure if @throw still uses setjmp and longjmp like NSException. If so, I've seen no good arguments as to why @throw is better than -raise et al for NSExceptions, so I suggest just not using @throw in this case. Obviously if you're @throwing a generic object, this isn't an option.
