/*=========================================================================*\
|
|
* Exception control
|
|
* LuaSocket toolkit (but completely independent from other modules)
|
|
*
|
|
* This provides support for simple exceptions in Lua. During the
|
|
* development of the HTTP/FTP/SMTP support, it became aparent that
|
|
* error checking was taking a substantial amount of the coding. These
|
|
* function greatly simplify the task of checking errors.
|
|
*
|
|
* The main idea is that functions should return nil as its first return
|
|
* value when it finds an error, and return an error message (or value)
|
|
* following nil. In case of success, as long as the first value is not nil,
|
|
* the other values don't matter.
|
|
*
|
|
* The idea is to nest function calls with the "try" function. This function
|
|
* checks the first value, and calls "error" on the second if the first is
|
|
* nil. Otherwise, it returns all values it received.
|
|
*
|
|
* The protect function returns a new function that behaves exactly like the
|
|
* function it receives, but the new function doesn't throw exceptions: it
|
|
* returns nil followed by the error message instead.
|
|
*
|
|
* With these two function, it's easy to write functions that throw
|
|
* exceptions on error, but that don't interrupt the user script.
