Is there a difference between these two kinds of raise

[Ralph_Shnelvar]

Is there a semantic difference bewteen
   raise MySpecialError, "My Message"
and
   raise MySpecialError.new("My Message")

[abinoam (Abinoam Praxedes Marques Jr.)]

No difference (as far as I know).

raise MySpecialError, "My Message" # ** See note
raise MySpecialError.new("My Message")

and

raise MySpecialError.exception("My Message")

** This sends/calls "exception" method/message on MySpecialError
passing the String "My Message" as its argument.
