How to "Break on unhandled exception"

[andrew]

I’ve created a VisualGdb “Linux” project to run on my BeagleBone:

int main() {
  throw std::runtime_error("foobar");
  return 0;
}

VisualStudio would normally break on the throw statement above, but that is not happening in my VisualGdb projects.
I’ve checked all the boxes in the Debug->Windows->Exception Settings dialog.

I see the following quote in the changelog for 5.4: “Added support for stopping on specific C++ exceptions” – is this relevant to my problem?

Hi,

Please try using the “Signals and Exceptions”  button (lightning icon) in the GDB Session window. This will open gdb-specific exception settings that let you configure specific exceptions.
