Print stacktrace from C code with embedded lua
- by Matt H
If I understand this correctly, Lua by default will call the debug library "debug.traceback" when an error occurs.
However, when embedding Lua into C code like done in the example here:
Simple Lua API Example
We only have available the error message on the top of the stack.
i.e.
if (status) {
/* If something went wrong, error message is at the top of */
/* the stack */
fprintf(stderr, "Couldn't load file: %s\n", lua_tostring(L, -1));
/* I want to print a stacktrace here. How do I do that? */
exit(1);
}
How do I print the stack trace from C after the initial error?
