Overview
Coxpcall encapsulates the protected calls with a coroutine based loop,
so errors can be dealed without the usual pcall/xpcall
issues with coroutines.
Using Coxpcall usually consists in simply loading the module and then
replacing Lua pcall and xpcall by copcall and coxpcall.
Coxpcall is free software and uses the same license as Lua 5.1.
Status
Current version is 1.14. It supports Lua 5.1 and Lua 5.2.
Download
Coxpcall can be downloaded from its LuaForge page. You can also get Coxpcall using LuaRocks:
luarocks install coxpcall
