如何将c结构数据传给lua

最近需要使用lua来让策划那些配置一些逻辑，于是调研了一下lua是如何实现这部分工作的，

最终发现一个通常的策划是利用lightuserdata和metatable来协调解决这个问题。也即将数据

指针给lua，另外告诉它一个如何操作这些数据的metamethods即可。

请看下面的示例代码:

typedef struct { int x; int y; int z; }TData; static int getAttribute(lua_State* L) { TData *data = (TData*)lua_touserdata(L, 1); std::string attribute = luaL_checkstring(L, 2); int result = 0; if(attribute == "x") { result = data->x; } else if(attribute == "y") { result = data->y; } else { result = data->z; } lua_pushnumber(L, result); return 1; } static struct luaL_reg dataLib[] = { {"__index", getAttribute}, {NULL, NULL} }; void getMetaTable(lua_State* L, luaL_reg* methods) { lua_pushlightuserdata(L, methods); lua_gettable(L, LUA_REGISTRYINDEX); if (lua_isnil(L, -1)) { /* not found */ lua_pop(L, 1); lua_newtable(L); luaL_register(L, NULL, methods); lua_pushlightuserdata(L, methods); lua_pushvalue(L, -2); lua_settable(L, LUA_REGISTRYINDEX); } } int main() { const char* filename = "test.lua"; lua_State *lua = lua_open(); if (lua == NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "open lua failed"); return -1; } luaL_openlibs(lua); TData input = {1, 2, 3}; lua_pushlightuserdata(lua, &input); getMetaTable(lua, dataLib); lua_setmetatable(lua, -2); lua_setglobal(lua, "input"); if (luaL_dofile(lua, filename)) { luaError(lua, "load file %s failed", filename); } lua_getglobal(lua, "data"); int output = lua_tointeger(lua, 0); std::cout << output << std::endl; return 0; }
