Make the atpanic exception return more usable data

[davidsiaw]

Right now all you can get from the LuaError exception is a string.

How to handle this exception? Even if I use catch(...) my program crashes with stack traceback: in console. (catch(std::exception) also doesn't work)

[davidsiaw]

You should be able to catch it like this:

    try
    {
        auto metatable = table.GetMetaTable();
    }
    catch(LuaError e)
    {
        std::cout << e.GetMessage() << std::endl;
    }

It however could be a case I did not cover. Do you mind sharing some code, or the error message that reproduces it?

[Rexagon]

Lua lua;

try {
    auto asd = lua.GetGlobalEnvironment().Get<LuaTable>("asd");
}
catch (LuaError e) {
    std::cout << e.GetMessage() << "\n";
}

After running this code I get this in console:

And the error Unhandled exception in adress 0x... (ucrtbase.dll)

The next statement is going to be executed is 143 row in luatypetemplates.h

Are you using the source at 1.3? Before 1.3 there was no such exception thrown when at_panic was captured.
