I've embedded Lua into my application, but there are a few things I
would like to be able to do that I can't seem to figure out:
1. I'd like to be able to turn on a mode where I can list out each
line of Lua code as it is being executed (kinda like a trace mode).
In this mode I'm not too worried about speed. Perhaps a callback from
Lua that gets called every time a new line gets executed?
2. I'd like to abort a Lua script while it is executing. Right now
I'm using loadfile and pcall to execute a script. Once those are
called, it doesn't return until the script is finished (or error).
I'd like to either prematurely abort that execution, or execute it
another way so that I can abort the script.
It might be overkill but Lua Lanes (multi threading library) allows killing a thread, so you'd only :-) have to create a thread which calls your script, figure out how to communicate with your main thread, and kill the "script thread" it if you get bored of it.....
Thanks for any help.
