C++ CLI: Calling a non existing method in a measure ends up with a crash and stack trace

[jmarrec]

Issue overview

Current Behavior

For example, if you put in a measure something like:

  def run(model, runner, user_arguments)
    super(model, runner, user_arguments)

    runner.nonExistingMethod()

You end up with a hard crash.

Expected Behavior

It should gracefully fail and report the error.

Steps to Reproduce

See Current behavior

Possible Solution

The issue is that we do ScriptObject->run(args) whereas the ruby CLI was all under a rb_protect block.

We need to find a way to do things like RubyInterpreter::makeProtectedCall or RubyEval's evalString (the Ruby Engine has exec / eval that call evalString).

@jmarrec check out my proposal. I think we can build on this. 05e5996
