When you call lua the stack with

Why are you doing the extra lua_pop(L, 1) at the end of the version from the reference manual? I can see how that could be a problem, since you're popping beyond the stack depth.

It is possible, but you will have to link lua interpreter source code to your application source code and wrap BREW API functions in order to use them from lua scripts.

Here 's a cross-referenced Doxygen of the same.
This is defined in the Lua core header lstate.h .
The jump buffer chain is part of the struct lua_longjmp pointed to by errorJmp field in the per-thread state struct lua_State .
