Audience

This article was written for C++ developers that want extend your application with Lua programming Language.

Introduction

One of the most common tasks when you use Lua in C++ application is call Lua functions, but this can be tiresome, you need use a lot of functions of LUA C API (lua_getglobal, lua_pushnumber, lua_pushstring, lua_tointeger and so on) to call one simple Lua function. Here I will show C++ templates that can make your life easy.

Interface

The interface is very easy see:. Think that you have these four Lua function and you want to call in your application:

Listing 1 – Lua Functions – test.lua
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

var = 10;

function sum4(a, b, c, d)

      return a+b+c+d;

end

function catenate(a, b)

      return a.." and "..b;

end

function incVar(value)

      var = var+value;

end

function getVar()

      return var;

end

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then what you need to call these function is use:

• LuaCall template class.

The basic way are you instantiate LuaCall with types of your Lua function receive and return, for sample:

Collapse

float a = LuaCall<float, int, float, int, int>(L, "sum4").call(5, 1.5, 5, 5); 

See complete sample below (listing 2).

Listing 2 – using LuaCall – main.cpp

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#include <iostream>

#include "LuaCall.h"

extern "C" {

#include <lua.h>

#include <lauxlib.h>

#include <lualib.h>

}

int main()

{

try

{    

      lua_State *L;

      L = luaL_newstate();

      if(luaL_loadfile(L, "list1.lua") || lua_pcall(L, 0, 0, 0))

{

            throw std::string(std::string(lua_tostring(L, -1)));

      }

           

      std::cout << LuaCall<float, int, float, int, int>(L, "sum4").call(5, 1.5, 5, 5) << std::endl;

      std::cout << LuaCall<std::string, std::string, std::string>(L, "catenate").call("Renato", "Bianca") << std::endl;

      LuaCall<NullT, int>(L, "incVar").call(10);

      std::cout << LuaCall<int>(L, "getVar").call() << std::endl;

           

      if(L != NULL)

      {

            lua_close(L);

      }

}

catch (const std::string &e)

{

      std::cout << e << std::endl;

}

      return 0;

}

Implementation

This is the implementation of LuaCall:

      }
