[Bug breakpoints/9562] Incorrect handling of erroneous breakpoint conditions


------- Additional Comments From tromey at redhat dot com  2009-01-08 19:12 -------
I suspect this behavior is intentional, though I am not certain.
One rationale for it would be that an expression might parse correctly
after gdb loads more symbols -- for example, after a shared library is loaded.

Maybe we could do a bit better by having the parsers throw different
exceptions for the "symbol is missing" and "general syntax error" cases.
However, even this is seems problematic for C, due to macro expansion.
