[ruby-core:104972] [Ruby master Feature#18083] Capture error in ensure block.

["Eregon (Benoit Daloze)" <noreply@ruby-lang.org>]

Issue #18083 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).


If you only need to know if there is an `Exception` this seems easier:
Using the example from https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15567#note-27
```ruby
begin
  ...
rescue Exception => exception
  transaction.abort
ensure
  transaction.commmit unless transaction.aborted?
end

# or

begin
  ...
rescue Exception => exception
  aborted = true
  transaction.abort
ensure
  transaction.commmit unless aborted
end

# or 

begin
  ...
rescue Exception => exception
  transaction.abort
ensure
  transaction.commmit unless exception
end
```

Feature #18083: Capture error in ensure block.

----------------------------------------
As discussed in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15567 there are some tricky edge cases.

As a general model, something like the following would be incredibly useful:

``` ruby
begin
 ...
ensure => error
  pp "error occurred" if error
end
```

Currently you can get similar behaviour like this:

``` ruby
begin
  ...
rescue Exception => error
  raise
ensure
  pp "error occurred" if error
end
```

The limitation of this approach is it only works if you don't need any other `rescue` clause. Otherwise, it may not work as expected or require extra care. Also, Rubocop will complain about it.

Using `$!` can be buggy if you call some method from `rescue` or `ensure` clause, since it would be set already. It was discussed extensively in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15567 if you want more details.
