[PATCH] Catch exception in value_rtti_indirect_type


In the situation described in bug 17416 [1], an exception thrown in
value_ind can propagate too far and leave an half-built variable object,
leading to a wrong state. This patch adds a TRY_CATCH to catch it and
makes value_rtti_indirect_type return NULL in that case, meaning
that the type of the pointed object could not be found.

If you want, I can also integrate the test case provided in the bug
description. I just don't know how to name it without giving it a
ridiculously long name such as
mi-var-list-children-with-print-object-on-and-a-null-pointer-to-a-structure-that-contains-a-pointer-to-a-structure.exp.

I tested the change on my machine, Ubuntu 14.10 x86-64.

gdb/Changelog:

	* valops.c (value_rtti_indirect_type): Catch exception thrown by
	value_ind.
