Detailed Description

Utilities to write lua bindings.

Definition in file lua_wrap.h.

Macro Definition Documentation

lua_bindwrapper

#define lua_bindwrapper	(		L,
			f
	)

Value:

        lua_bindwrapperwithname(  \
        (L),(f),GEO::lua_wrappername(L,#f)              \
    )

Binds a LUA wrapper around a C++ function to the table on the top of the LUA stack.

The arguments are automatically converted from the LUA stack to the function arguments. If the function is non-void, the return value is automatically converted to LUA and pushed onto the LUA stack. If the function is already a LUA interface (takes a lua_State* as an argument and returns an integer), then it will be directly called, without any conversion. The name of the function is obtained by removing all namespaces from f.

Parameters

[in]	L	a pointer to the LUA state.
[in]	f	a pointer to the C++ function to be wrapped. It cannot be a non-static object member function.

Definition at line 1351 of file lua_wrap.h.

lua_bindwrapperglobal

#define lua_bindwrapperglobal	(		L,
			f
	)

Value:

        lua_bindwrapperwithnameglobal(      \
        (L),(f),GEO::lua_wrappername(L,#f)                              \
    )

Binds a LUA wrapper around a C++ function to the global scope.

The arguments are automatically converted from the LUA stack to the function arguments. If the function is non-void, the return value is automatically converted to LUA and pushed onto the LUA stack. If the function is already a LUA interface (takes a lua_State* as an argument and returns an integer), then it will be directly called, without any conversion. The name of the function is obtained by removing all namespaces from f.

Parameters

[in]	L	a pointer to the LUA state.
[in]	f	a pointer to the C++ function to be wrapped. It cannot be a non-static object member function.

Definition at line 1369 of file lua_wrap.h.

LUA_DECLAREENUMTYPE

#define LUA_DECLAREENUMTYPE

(

T

)

Value:

    template<> inline void lua_push(lua_State* L, T x) {        \
        lua_push(L, int(x));                                    \
    }                                                           \
                                                                \
        template<> class lua_to<T> : public GEO::lua_to<int> {  \
        public:                                                 \
        lua_to(lua_State* L, int idx) : lua_to<int>(L,idx) {    \
        }                                                       \
            operator T() const {                                \
                return T(lua_to<int>::operator int());          \
            }                                                   \
        }

Declares a new enum type that can be used by LUA wrappers.

enum types that can be used in wrapped functions need to be explicitely declared before using lua_bindwrapper() and lua_bindwrapperglobal(). This will be no longer the case when we will switch to C++11 (but for now, geogram needs to remain compatible with C++98).

Note

LUA_DECLAREENUMTYPE cannot be done from within a function.

Parameters

[in]

T

the C++ type name of the enum.
