     1 # Apparently, there's simply no way to ask GDB to exit with a non-zero
     2 # status when the script run with the --eval-command option fails. Thus, if
     3 # we have --eval-command run prolog.py directly, syntax errors there will
     4 # lead GDB to exit with no indication anything went wrong.
     5 #
     6 # To avert that, we use this very small launcher script to run prolog.py
     7 # and catch errors.
     8 #
     9 # Remember, errors in this file will cause spurious passes, so keep this as
    10 # simple as possible!
