[RFA] Use TRY/CATCH in remove_prev_frame
Commit Message
This changes remove_prev_frame to use TRY/CATCH instead of a cleanup.
TRY/CATCH seemed appropriate here because the cleanup is only needed
in the case where an exception is thrown.
Tested by the buildbot.

* frame.c (remove_prev_frame): Remove.
(get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle): Use TRY/CATCH.

Use RETURN_MASK_ALL.

I think these two lines aren't necessary? It seems like
they existed in remove_prev_frame because that needs to
find the prev_frame from its passed-in argument, which is
just this_frame. But here we already have prev_frame handy.
OK with those changes.

I made this change but someone may want to audit the other uses of
TRY/CATCH in frame.c. They all use RETURN_MASK_ERROR. Or I could just
convert them all.

The other uses are all correct. They want to handle specific
types of exceptions, like:
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
if (ex.error == MEMORY_ERROR)
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
if (ex.error == NOT_AVAILABLE_ERROR)
All other types of exception are rethrown. So it would be
useless to use RETURN_MASK_ALL for those, because it would
mean we would catch Ctrl-C just to rethrow it again
immediately.
Thanks,

Thanks, I see.
