Embedding (Assertion `!lua_isnil(L->L, -1)' failed)

[cinterloper]

I have some code that embeds terra in a c program, it was written several years ago and worked at the time.

With the current release of terra, when I try to terra_loadbuffer or terra_loadstring or terra_dostring, the program bails out with the message:

terra/src/llex.cpp:94: void luaX_pushtstringtable(terra_State*): Assertion `!lua_isnil(L->L, -1)' failed.

Is there a new canonical example of how to embed Terra in a c/c++ program?

An example of this failing would be:

    lua_State *lua_state = luaL_newstate();
    if (lua_state == nullptr){
        cout << "cannot init lua state" << endl;
        return 5;
    }
    luaL_openlibs(lua_state);
    terra_init(lua_state);
    terra_loadstring(lua_state,R"(print("Hello, Lua!") )");

where the program crashes at the terra_loadstring call

Is it possible you changed what LuaJIT you were building against? I don't think this interface has changed, as far as I'm aware.

The couple of examples I'm seeing in the test suite are similar to what you're doing:

The error handling in the latter example suggests maybe you're missing that?
