Debug

Supported platforms:
Available since: Gideros 2011.6

Description

The debug library does not give you a debugger for Lua, but it offers all the primitives that you need for writing a debugger for Lua. For performance reasons, the official interface to these primitives is through the C API. The debug library in Lua is a way to access these functions directly within Lua code. This library declares all its functions inside the debug table.

Methods debug.debug enters interactive debug mode, line with only "cont" terminates debug.gethook returns current hook function, hook mask, hook count debug.getinfo returns table with information about a function debug.getlocal returns name and value of local variable with index local at stack level debug.getupvalue returns name and value of upvalue with index up of function func debug.sethook sets given function as a hook, mask="[crl]" debug.setlocal sets local variable with index local at stack level with value debug.settypemt Set meta table type debug.setupvalue sets upvalue with index up of function func with value debug.traceback returns a string with a traceback of the call stack
