module Rafini

Module version of puts bang! Returns either the value or error of the block.

value = Rafini.bang!('Ooops! Not perfect?') do
  # Perfect code here...
end

# File lib/rafini/exception.rb, line 32
def Rafini.bang!(message=nil, bang=Exception, &block)
  value = nil
  begin
    value = block.call
  rescue bang => value
    value.puts(message)
  end
  return value
end

The Thread wrapped version of bang! I often do

Thread.new do
  begin
    ... stuff ..
  rescue Exception
    puts 'blah blah...'
    puts $!.message if $VERBOSE
    puts $!.backtrace if $DEBUG
  end
end

With the following below, I'll be able to say Rafini.thread_bang!('blah blah…'){ …stuff… }

# File lib/rafini/exception.rb, line 55
def Rafini.thread_bang!(header=nil, bang=Exception, &block)
  Thread.new{Rafini.bang!(header, bang, &block)}
end
