Re: How can I do sethook() to all coroutines of a Lua state?

[Oliver Kroth <oliver.kroth@...>]

Thijs,

nothing very special, I just wanted to terminate a running script from 
another OS process.
lua.c uses for this the function Lua_sethook() and inserts a C function 
that throws an "stopped" error..

Works like a charm, but if you attach your stopper into the hook of a 
thread (coroutine) that is not the main thread, only this thread is 
stopped; the others, including the main thread, survive.

Luckily, finding the main thread is relatively easy:
go from LuaState *L to the global state and from there to its main 
thread: G(L)->mainthread
Then, shoot the boss :-)
