You must break on `_d_throwc` (windows), `_d_throwdwarf` (linux),
`_d_throw_exception` (ldc).
They are defined in
- https://github.com/dlang/dmd/blob/master/druntime/src/rt/deh.d
-
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/blob/master/druntime/src/rt/deh_win32.d

At least this is what is done for the Dexed GDB widget, so that
gdb breaks automatically when an Error or an Exception is new'd
(https://gitlab.com/basile.b/dexed/-/blob/master/src/u_gdb.pas#L2072).
