Consider following simple program exceptions.rb:
begin
a = ABC
rescue
puts "We have exception: " + $!
end
cruby can treat the exception as string, but rbx fails:
[11:24:38 ~/irb_test] ruby exceptions.rb
We have exception: uninitialized constant ABC
[11:25:10 ~/irb_test] rbx exceptions.rb
Snippets:0:in `main': undefined local variable or method `to_str' for
uninitialized constant Object::ABC:NameError (NoMethodError)
from Snippets:0:in `Initialize'[11:25:16 ~/irb_test]
The problem can be circumvented currently with to_s:
puts "We have exception: " + $!.to_s
