Debug

Supported platforms: android, ios, mac, pc
Available since: Gideros 2011.6

Description

The debug library does not give you a debugger for Lua, but it offers all the primitives that you need for writing a debugger for Lua. For performance reasons, the official interface to these primitives is through the C API. The debug library in Lua is a way to access these functions directly within Lua code. This library declares all its functions inside the debug table.{|- | style="width: 50%;"|
