I caught the exception using rb_protect() but there is still a problem:
rbaio.c(1279): ruby error: NoMethodError: ???
rbaio.c(1292): from tc_client.rb:125:in `process'
rbaio.c(1292): from tc_client.rb:125:in `test_addr_lookup_name_async'
The class name I can interpret okay but when I take $! and call the
to_s method on it I get another exception because of the NULL issue. I
don't yet know why that is the case.
lasterr = rb_gv_get("$!");
// class and message
klass = rb_class_path(CLASS_OF(lasterr));
//message = rb_obj_as_string(lasterr);
DBG2("ruby error: %s: %s", RSTRING(klass)->ptr,
"???");//RSTRING(message)->ptr);
Uncommenting the conversion to string results in the NULL error.
