Description

Attempting to build the taglib-ruby gem on ruby-2.7.0-preview2 fails with error messages such as:

taglib_base_wrap.cxx:2101:9: error: no matching function for call to 'rb_rescue'
    if (rb_rescue(RUBY_METHOD_FUNC(SWIG_AUX_NUM2ULONG), (VALUE)a, RUBY_METHOD_FUNC(SWIG_ruby_failed), 0) != Qnil) {
            ^~~~~~~~~
            /usr/local/include/ruby-2.7/ruby/ruby.h:1989:7: note: candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'VALUE (VALUE *)' (aka 'unsigned long (unsigned long *)') to 'VALUE (*)(VALUE)' (aka 'unsigned long (*)(unsigned long)') for 1st argument
            VALUE rb_rescue(VALUE(*)(VALUE),VALUE,VALUE(*)(VALUE,VALUE),VALUE);

I believe this is related to the CXX/ANYARGS changes made between ruby-2.7.0-preview1 and preview2. I was not aware these were expected to cause backwards compatibility issues, which is why I'm submitting the bug report here.

I believe taglib-ruby uses code generated via SWIG. I'm not sure if SWIG needs to be adjusted, or if the issue is related to the use of SWIG.

This may be a problem in the gem and not in our CXX handling. In that case, please let me know and I will post an issue in the gem's tracker.
