bug from rails tests

def catch_error
  Class.const_get '::'
rescue => e
  puts "name: #{e.name}"
  raise e
end

catch_error

MRI output:

name: ::
NameError: wrong constant name ::
    from (irb):2:in `const_get'
    from (irb):2:in `catch_error'
    from (irb):8
    from /Users/alex/.rubies/ruby-2.2.2/bin/irb:11:in `<main>'

Jruby output:

Failing test in AS:
https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activesupport/test/constantize_test_cases.rb#L90
https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activesupport/test/core_ext/string_ext_test.rb#L296

NameError#name should return :: as provided constant name but it returns empty string

Backtrace:

StringInflectionsTest#test_safe_constantize:
NameError: wrong constant name ::
    org/jruby/RubyModule.java:3054:in `const_get'

Re-run test from activesupport directory with: ruby -w -Itest test/core_ext/string_ext_test.rb -n test_safe_constantize

There is more difference:

def catch_err
  Class.const_get 'Some'
rescue => e
  e.name
end

MRI

=> "Some"

Jruby

=> :"Class::Some"

Very weird thing for Rails to be testing, but I think I have a fix.

@gazay Thanks for the good case! I believe JRuby matches all the examples you provided. Perhaps you'd like to take another step and add specs for some of these cases to https://github.com/ruby/rubyspec under core/module/const_get_spec.rb and friends? It's fun, and would let us move on to the next bug fix :-)
