Catching exceptions

I created a C++ function to throw an exception:

 

void RuntimeError(const std::string& error)

{

      throw std::exception(error.c_str());

}

 

 

Here is the Lua script that calls it:

 

print("Creating an error...")

 

RuntimeError("An error has occurred!")

 

 

Here is the code that runs the script.  Instead of catching the exception,
lua_pcall returns non-zero and the Lua string at the top of the stack
contains "std-exception: 'An error has occurred!'":

 

bool Interpreter::Invoke(const int& in, const int& out)

{

      try

      {

            if (lua_pcall(L,in,out,0)==0)

            {

                  return true;

            }

            else

            {

                  //If you throw an exception, it gets displayed here, which
isn't what we want:

                  HandleError();

            }

      }

      //Exceptions should be getting caught here:

      catch(luabind::error& e)

      {

            Print("Caught the exception!");

            exit(1);

      }

      return false;

}

 

 

I am using MSVC, and I know about the issue described below.  The code they
said to add has no effect on behavior:

What do I have to do to make my program catch the exception thrown by the
C++ function the Lua script calls?  Thanks.
