The function will be run as if it were a message handler (see https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#2.3). The current message handler will be run after the native error handler returns. ### `b = lua_isproxy(p, L)` Returns a boolean `b` indicating whether `p` is a proxy (See `lua_toproxy`). If `L` is non-null, only returns `true` if `p` belongs to the same global state. ### `p = lua_toproxy(L, idx)` Returns a JavaScript object `p` that holds a reference to the lua value at the stack index `idx`. This object can be called with a lua_State to push the value onto that state's stack. This example would be an inefficient way to write `lua_pushvalue(L, 1)`: ```js var p = lua_toproxy(L, 1); p(L); ```` ## References - [Source code for Lua 5.3](lua.org/source/5.3/) - [Lua 5.2 Bytecode and Virtual Machine](http://files.catwell.info/misc/mirror/lua-5.2-bytecode-vm-dirk-laurie/lua52vm.html) - [Lua 5.3 Bytecode Reference](http://the-ravi-programming-language.readthedocs.io/en/latest/lua_bytecode_reference.html) - [A No-Frills Introduction to Lua 5.1 VM Instructions](http://luaforge.net/docman/83/98/ANoFrillsIntroToLua51VMInstructions.pdf)
