util.xpcall

The Lua function xpcall calls a function in protected mode with a custom error handler. However, it differs in behavior across Lua versions. In Lua 5.1, it does not take additional arguments to the function, while in later versions it does. This library provides a consistent verison of it.

local xpcall = require "util.xpcall".xpcall;

local function onerror(error)
    print("error:", error)
end

xpcall(something_fragile, onerror, arguments);
