Re: protect a set in c (non-existing elements)

you can see my repo: https://github.com/starwing/lbind/tree/newinterface/runtime

this is a C module that has many useful snippet, one useful for this issue is lbind_setmetafield.

A small C snippet can solve this issue (untested):

static int protect_index(lua_State *L) {

lua_rawget(L, 1);

if (lua_isnil(L, -1)) luaL_error(L, "....", luaL_tolstring(L, 2, NULL));

return 1;

}

static int protect(lua_State *L) {

lua_pushcfunction(L, protect_index);

lbind_setmetafield(L, 1, "__index");

lua_settop(L, 1);

return 1;

}

From the same manual;
Also as lua_load, this function only loads the chunk; it does not run it.

So whether it accepts arguments depends on how the chunk is loaded, with what function signature
If with 'function my_chunk(...)' then I could use the vararg in the lua code
If with 'function my_chunk()' then the Lua code will never receive any arguments

I guess I'll have to go and try that.
