Lua And C++ Error Handling

[pineappleplay]

So Im messing around with C++ and Lua and it doesn't seem to output errors to the console. Like I could have a lua file of random charaters and no errors are outputted to the console. Any help with this?

Just call the error function from with-in lua instead of the LuaC error function.

But if I have a lua file that is just:

this don't work

How would I get that error message to print out to the console.
Its should be something like

lua: mian.lua:1: '=' expected near 'don'

Okay I figured it out. luaL_dofile can act like lua_pcall so you can simply just add a if statement like this

if (luaL_dofile(L, "test.lua"))
{
	std::cout << lua_tostring(L, -1) << std::endl;
}
