I have defined an asynchronous function in C that yields
the current thread and then resumes it when the operation completes. If
the function succeeds, then I push the result onto the stack and call
lua_resume(). What can I do in case of an exception? I’d love to
somehow cause an exception to be thrown into the resumed thread, but I
don’t see an easy way to do this. So far I’ve considered injecting some Lua shim
code, but that seems pretty complicated: -- Get the async function from the stack f = ... -- Call the async function. It will return true on
success and false on failure success, result = f() if success then return
result -- the 2nd argument is the result. TODO: Handle tuple
results. else error(result)
-- the 2nd argument is the error message. Throw it. end I’d much rather not go down this complicated (and
inefficient) route if I can avoid it. Any ideas? -Erik |
