Multiple breakpoints

[Nick Roberts <nickrob@snap.net.nz>]

If I set a breakpoint on TRY_CATCH in gdb_evaluate_expression, I get
multiple breakpoints:

  gdb_evaluate_expression (struct expression *exp, struct value **value)
  {
    volatile struct gdb_exception except;

->  TRY_CATCH (except, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
      {
        *value = evaluate_expression(exp);
      }

    if (except.reason < 0)
      return 0;
    return 1;
  }

where -> shows the breakpoint location.


Is this to be expected?  The assembler looks like this:
