lua_pcall 是使用 c 中的 setjmp 实现的, 对应在lua 中的函数就是 pcall

pcall/error 大概就相当于其他语言中的 try-catch /throw了

local ok, errorobject = pcall(function() 
    --here goes the protected code 
    ... 
end) 

if not ok then 
    --here goes the error handling code 
    --(errorobject has more information about the error) 
    ... 
end 

协程

对称协程只有一个关键字: transfer, 类似于 goto 语句, 把控制权移交给其他的任意一个协程; 而非对称协程一般有两个关键字:resume 和 yield, 使用 resume打开一个协程, 然后在这个协程中使用 yield 返回.

知乎上 lua 相关的问题

1. The *bylua modules that tweak the nginx behaviour (for ex the rewriteby_lua that is the lua equivalent of nginx http rewrite) module are always run after the standard nginx modules.
2. The choice of *bylua module to use largely depends upon the problem that you are trying to solve. For example the initbylua module is used for initialization operations where as accessbylua may be used to implement access policies for a location block. Personally among the various directives I find most use for contentby_lua.

From http://www.staticshin.com/programming/definitely-an-open-resty-guide/

http://www.londonlua.org/scriptingnginxwith_lua/slides.html

Lua can access nginx at different phase, the most important directives are:

Rewritebylua
Accessbylua
Contentbylua
Initbylua
Setbylua

Rememeber to set luacodecache when developing

Use ngx.location.capture to issue a sub-request to other locations in nginx

ngx.ctx is a lua table to store data with a lifetime

Lua 的协程是非对称的协程也就是 resume 和 yeild 相当于调用和返回

Python 的协程是对称的协程, 相当于 goto.

Lua中携程相关的函数都放在coroutine包中
coroutine.create(function) 返回一个thread类型的值表示一个协程，并且处于suspend状态。
resume(co, params…) 执行一个协程，并且能够传递参数，返回运行的状态的函数yield返回的结果

Lua中有两种for语句，最基本的是

for i = 1, 10 do
    print i
end

还有一种是for in语句

for I in pairs(t) do
print I
end
