User Interrupt

["Geo Massar" <luageo@...>]

Hi, all

 

LuaTut, the Pascal clone of lua.c, does exit quitely whenever ctrl-C is pressed, no message other than "^C". I had to comment out the signal functions in the docall function. There is no Pascal equivalent for them. Pascal has its own mechanism to catch those signals.

 

If the purpose of the signal function is to catch ctrl-C signals and it is only one reason, won't it be good idea to move the signal functions inside of the pcall function and add a new status code for the user interrupt, say LUA_USERINT, to the other error codes?

 

Thanks.
