Subject: Re: [Enigma-devel] Lua 5.1 "luaL_error" problems on Windows
Hi,

Meanwhile I succeeded in running Enigma on Windows under the control

gdb (still just with the commandline interface).
I had a look in gdb on the "enigma.GetKind(nil)" case - it just causes a
segmentation fault at the same line 166 in lobject.c.
In both cases immediatly before a luaM_realloc_ occured on L. That may
be the common internal reason.
Now I checked the the "enigma.SetItem(7,9, nil)" that reports errors
correctly:
Gdb steps exactly in the same manner until line 166 in lobject.c but one
further step results in a "continue" - the app displays the errormessage
at once and gdb looses control over the app! After pressing ESC you can
move the mouse and highlight the previews in the levelmenu. But when you
start a level gdb stops the app at the moment luacode is entered again.
What the hell is lua doing?
I don't know, but it looked to me like it might have been doing the same
thing in the crashing case.
It looks like GDB does is not stepping through some og the code.
Take a look at your backtrace:
(gdb) backtrace
#0 0x778b7e75 in ?? ()
#1 0x0070ca9c in _Unwind_SjLj_RaiseException ()
#2 0x00702b75 in __cxa_throw ()
#3 0x0049a717 in world::PerformAction(world::Object*, bool) (o=0x5f10e10,
onoff=true) at world.cc:1406
The line mentioned in #3 is a throw statement. Number #2 is not doing
much. It puts the peices of the exception into a strucure, and incements a
uncaught Exception counter. It then passes the structure to
"_Unwind_SjLj_RaiseException", which based on the comments is not supposed
to return. There seems to be no source code for
_Unwind_SjLj_RaiseException, but cygwin has the same problem.
But that bug can be aliviated by cathing the exception raised in #3. It is
definately a bug in Enigma that it is not catching that exception.
