int CEGUI::LuaScriptModule::getActivePCallErrorHandlerReference ( ) const

return the lua registry index of the active error handler function.

initErrorHandlerFunc function.
This may return a value previously set by the user, or the value as
bound internally by the script module for an error handler specified by function name.
Note
This function is really intended for use internally by other parts of the lua scripting support. Although it could be useful elsewhere for advanced uses, so long as you're careful!
Warning
You should never call luaL_unref on the value returned by this function unless you created tge reference in the first place, and even then only after having called setDefaultPCallErrorHandler passing LUA_NOREF.
