LuaDust v0.2

LuaDust is a lua binding C++ library. This library user C++11 features.

This library was compile on :

• Windows x64 with TDM-gcc 4.8.1

Compilation and test on other platform and compiler are not done yet.

Compilation

Dependency

• Lua
• cmake

You must have a C++11 compiler.

Compile library using cmake

After get lua, you have to configure cmake to generate the Makefile. You have to specify where are the Lua include directory and the library directory.

Usage

Bind C++ language

// main.cpp

#include "LuaDust.hpp"

int main()
{
	LuaDust dust;

	dust.addGlobal("integer", 42);
	dust.addGlobal("number", 42.2);
	dust.addGlobal("string", "42");

	dust.addFunction("write", &write);
	dust.addFunction("writeStaticFunction", &Class::writeStaticFunction); // This method must be static
	dust.addFunction("writeMethod", class_ptr, &Class::writeMethod);

	int ref_integer = 21;

	dust.addRefGlobal("ref_integer", &ref_integer);

	std::vector<int> vector = { 21, 42 };

	dust.addArray("vector", &vector);

	dust.doFile("main.lua");

	std::cout << "ref_integer = " << ref_integer << std::endl;
	return 0;
}

In the Lua script :

-- main.lua

print(integer)
print(number)
print(string)

write("Some text")
writeStaticFunction("Some text")
writeMethod("Some text")

ref_integer = 42;

print(vector[0])
print(vector[1])

Output :

42
42.2
42
Some text
Some text
Some text
21
42
ref_integer = 42
