feature requires proper debuginfo support from the compiler; it
was added to GCC 4.5.
+ ** The motion commands "next", "finish", "until", and "advance" now
+ work better when exceptions are thrown. In particular, GDB will
+ no longer lose control of the inferior; instead, the GDB will
+ stop the inferior at the point at which the exception is caught.
+ This functionality requires a change in the exception handling
+ code that was introduced in GCC 4.5.

reading or writing target state during expression evaluation.
One notable difference to prior behavior is that "print x = 0"
