Simon Marchi f7e5394d61 Catch exception in value_rtti_indirect_type
In the situation described in bug 17416 [1]:

  * "set print object" is on;
  * The variable object is a pointer to a struct, and it contains an
    invalid value (e.g. NULL, or random uninitialized value);
  * The variable object (struct) has a child which is also a pointer to a
    struct;
  * We try to use "-var-list-children".

... 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.

A test for the fix is also added.

New in v2:

  * Added test.
  * Restructured "catch" code.
  * Added details about the bug in commit log.

gdb/Changelog:

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

	* gdb.mi/mi-var-list-children-invalid-grandchild.c: New file.
