Coxpcall
Coroutine-safe `xpcall` and `pcall` versions

## Overview

Coxpcall encapsulates the protected calls with a coroutine based loop, so errors can be dealed without the usual `pcall`/`xpcall` issues with coroutines.

Using Coxpcall usually consists in simply loading the module and then replacing Lua `pcall` and `xpcall` by `copcall` and `coxpcall`.

Coxpcall is free software and uses the same license as Lua 5.1.

## Status

Current version is 1.13. It was developed for Lua 5.1.

## Download

Coxpcall can be downloaded from its LuaForge page. You can also get Coxpcall using LuaRocks:

    luarocks install coxpcall
