Debugging Lua Code

wiki

Lua comes with debugger interface, so that users can write their own monitoring code (e.g., for a debugger, tracer, or profiler). For a sample debugger, see [ldb] by RiciLake, [RemDebug] in Kepler . There is also a much older [Ldb] by Tomás Guisasola and SimpleDebugger. You can also write your own through the Lua Debug library [1].
