Returning value from C function to Lua coroutine

SDK Bug Reports

Dear,

https://devforum.play.date/t/returning-value-from-c-function-to-lua-coroutine-fixed/330

The above phenomenon seems to be recurring.
Attached is a sample that can be compiled with the latest SDK.

Best regards.

Bump.

I just updated my project from the prehistoric SDK 1.4.0 to 1.12.3.

Took me a few hours to figure out that everything's broken because all the playdate->lua->getArg*/pushObject functions don't work inside coroutines any more.

Going back to SDK 1.10.0 and the problem is still there so I guess this broke between 1.4.0 and 1.10.0. I didn't keep copies of and can't find any pre 1.10 SDKs to check those.

My entire project is structured around coroutines and C so hopefully there's a workaround or fix for this. In the meantime, I'm back on 1.4.0.

Found & tried 1.9.0, same problem.

Found it. I broke the previous fix when I updated Lua to 5.4.3 in SDK 1.8, about a year ago. :frowning: I have our local changes to the Lua runtime flagged with comments in the source and merge them in by hand because I don't trust git to do it right. But now I don't trust myself either so I'll try git again next time.

MR is in for 1.13, lmk if you need a beta build before that's out.

Nice, thanks Dave! I'll be ok on 1.4.0 for now and will try the upgrade again when 1.13 is released.

I'll verify this when 1.13 comes out.
