In my rewrite of my Ruby <=3D> CLR bridge, I've been thinking about pushing
most of the logic into Ruby, and leaving as little as possible in Managed
C++. I was just hacking around this morning in emacs thinking about what th=
e
syntax for an IL generator should look like, and this was what I came up
with:

d =3D DynamicMethod.new("Int32, UInt32*, UInt32")
g =3D d.get_generator

g.begin_exception_block do
  g.call "static Throws.ThrowException()"
  g.br_s "EndOfMethod"
  g.catch("Exception") do
    g.call "ToString()"
    g.call "static Console.WriteLine(String)"
  end
  g.label "EndOfMethod"
  g.ldc_i4 Qnil
  g.ret
end

I'd love it if folks could comment on how this syntax might be improved in
Ruby before I crank out the underlying MC++ / Ruby code ...

Thanks!
