[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49304] On SIGTERM, 'octave-workspace' is saved, but Octave returns to prompt rather than terminating

[Olaf Till]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #49304 (project octave):

What goes on is that the signal handler, after dumping core, calls
clean_up_and_exit(), which in turn throws octave::exit_exception. But in
parser::run, this exception is caught by the default catch block, which calls
error() (the latter probably being the reason for returning to the prompt).

Of course I can't anticipate the planned design changes, but I think handling
the newly introduced exit_exception as a special case has just been forgotten
for the moment ...? So I suggest the patch in the attached changeset, which
does the trick for me.
