[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]


 

Is there a way with the API to find out how many uncollected threads there are in a lua_State?

 

I use this information as a debugging tool to see if I’m leaking threads.

 

I’ve managed to do this by keeping track of the thread creation/deletion in my own luai_user* functions, but I was hoping to avoid this customization of the Lua source.

 

I maintain a separate thread-count for each state, but it would also be nice to query the child thread-count for any thread in the hierarchy! It would be even nicer to enumerate the child threads of any thread…
