Re: customizable Lua "panic" behavior

["Jim Mathies" <jamesmathies@...>]

Do you remove the exit call with this? or are you saying it will never
be called? I can understand trapping exceptions, but if an exception
occurs, your Lua mem really may be totally hosed. Calling lua_close()
would have unpredictable results. Maybe i'm not following you here...

| This is the only solution I've actually liked thus far.  It is easy to
| envision something like:
| 
| void RunMain()
| {
|     try
|     {
|         // All app code that would've been in main() goes here.
|     }
|     catch(...)
|     {
|     }
| }
| 
| static int StartExecution(lua_State *L)
| {
|    RunMain();
|    return 0;
| }
| 
| int main()
| {
|     lua_pushcfunction(L, StartExecution);
|     lua_call(0,0);
| }
| 
| In a way, this is like a C++ exception handler (also illustrated above).
| The lua_call() acts just like a C++ try-catch block, except for Lua
| code.
| 
| Because of this thread popping up over and over, a FAQ should be added
| to the Lua documentation...
