$DEBUG and exceptions

If you look at the ruby source, $DEBUG does only 2 things:

- prints out exceptions when they happen
- act as if Thread.abort_on_exception = true, even if it isn't.

If you don’t like the first, just set Thread.abort_on_exception to
true. :wink:

Ah, I was overestimating the functionality of $DEBUG. I have
Thread.abort_on_exception = true anyway, so I’ll just turn off $DEBUG.

Thanks!

I see “warnings” with $DEBUG on as well:

Oracle.rb:40: warning: method redefined; discarding old to_i

Or is this an internal exception of some kind within ruby?

That’s because turning on debugging also turns on warnings.
