example

Lua Code:

local test = Foo.new(333);
test:abc(1,2,3);

print("ONE: "..Foo.ONE);
print("TWO: "..Foo.TWO);
print("THREE: "..Foo.THREE);

C++ Code

#include <LuaGlue/LuaGlue.h>

class Foo
{
	public:
		Foo(int i) { printf("ctor! %i\n", i); }
		~Foo();
		
		int abc(int a, int b, int c) { printf("%i:%i:%i\n", a,b,c); return 143; }
		static void aaa() { printf("aaa!\n"); }
};

int main(int, char **)
{
	LuaGlue state;
	
	state.
		Class<Foo>("Foo").
			ctor<int>("new").
			method("abc", &Foo::abc).
			method("aaa", &Foo::aaa).
			constants( { { "ONE", 1 }, { "TWO", 2.0 }, { "THREE", "three" } } ).
		end().open().glue();
	
	if(!state.doFile("foo.lua"))
	{
		printf("failed to dofile: foo.lua\n");
		printf("err: %s\n", state.lastError().c_str());
	}
		
	return 0;
}

CHANGES

Aug 20 2014

Large refactor finished. A large amount of internal structure and code changed. Repo forks may break or fail to merge.

Passing Lua Values like tables, functions and basic types is supported through a new LuaGlueLuaValue type. For those times when you want a table or just don't care what type is passed to a C/C++ function from lua.

FUTURE

• Pending name change, and large API break to add namespaces.
