It certainly is.
Just add a useful __tostring to your error objects.
A possibly useful piece of code:
local err_methods = { }
local err_mt = {
__index = err_methods ;
__tostring = function ( o ) return o:tostring ( ) or "No error message" end ;
}
function new_err ( t )
return setmetatable ( t or { } , err_mt )
end
I for one would love some error object standardisation though:
eg, some common fields:
fatal = boolean
origin = string: name of library that raised the error
type = string: each function that raises an error should document the
"type"s of error it can raise ==> leading to nicer error catching
