<p>This annotation occurs right before <span class="sc">gdb</span> responds to an interrupt.
<p><a name="index-error-annotation-2153"></a>
<pre class="smallexample"> ^Z^Zerror
</pre>
<p>This annotation occurs right before <span class="sc">gdb</span> responds to an error.
<p>Quit and error annotations indicate that any annotations which <span class="sc">gdb</span> was
in the middle of may end abruptly. For example, if a
<code>value-history-begin</code> annotation is followed by a <code>error</code>, one
cannot expect to receive the matching <code>value-history-end</code>. One
cannot expect not to receive it either, however; an error annotation
does not necessarily mean that <span class="sc">gdb</span> is immediately returning all the way
to the top level.
<p><a name="index-error_002dbegin-annotation-2154"></a>A quit or error annotation may be preceded by
<pre class="smallexample"> ^Z^Zerror-begin
</pre>
<p>Any output between that and the quit or error annotation is the error
message.
<p>Warning messages are not yet annotated.
<!-- If we want to change that, need to fix warning(), type_error(), -->
<!-- range_error(), and possibly other places. -->
