Replacing the try/catch block above with this one: try { printf("ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG"); printf("asdf"); ruby_init(); } catch (char* e) { printf("%s", e); } and running the program via command line does not print anything. What the heck. Anyone have any idea why the bloody blazes this is happening?
