Yeah my list came from gdb 6.8, but feel free to update it
according newest gdb, old ones was never supported, I added them
because I assume they will be...
So I think we don't need them.

Thanks, Tom. I see that the list I provided (that I got

However, I see that 'help catch' in 6.8 reveals a much longer list, and
pretty much matches the list supported in CDT right now. Is that delta
the list of events that were documented but never implemented? Anyway,
since they're part of what gdb < 7.0 says it supports, then
I
guess it makes sense for them to appear in CDT--regardless of whether
they actually have code behind them in gdb or not. After all, who is
CDT
to question gdb ;-) Not to mention, a gdb vendor may have implemented
the
whole set, even if the base code doesn't.
So, this issue is closed as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to leave
the
no-longer-in-7.0 catch event types in CDT, and I'm going to add support
for any in 6.8 and 7.0 that are currently not in CDT.

NEWS is a decent source for this.
And, "help catch" is reasonably authoritative, as it will only
list
commands which actually exist.
I think before 7.0 we removed a bunch of catch subcommands that were
documented but never implemented. The current list:
(gdb) help catch
Set catchpoints to catch events.
List of catch subcommands:
catch assert -- Catch failed Ada assertions
catch catch -- Catch an exception
catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions
catch exec -- Catch calls to exec
catch fork -- Catch calls to fork
catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names
and/or numbers
catch throw -- Catch an exception
catch vfork -- Catch calls to vfork
AFAIK these all work, though some may only work for certain
targets.
