Raise Ruby Exceptions instead of std::runtime_error

Description

I don't know if it's possible in C++, but it would help a lot to be able to rescue some of EM internal errors. So instead of crashing w/ std::runtime_error it should raise a Ruby exception.

In C it's a simple: 

rb_raise(rb_eRuntimeError, "whatever...");

AFAIK eventmachine is designed to also be used outside of ruby, however, there might be scope for moving to a callback based exception handler?

this would indeed be nice

  • owner set to raggi.
  • status changed from new to assigned.

I'm gaining some experience and knowledge of the C++ side now, so I think an enhanced wrapper should be possible. I will stab case and see how it comes out.

Should add a ifdef to use rb_raise instead of std::runtime_error

this is quite annoying, ex: EM::start_server outside of EM::run results in a "non error output to the screen" segfault style message. Not helpful, indeed.

Not great, but initially in.
