Re: recursively traverse globals table from C API

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]


That won't work either because the index is relative and there will be
more stuff on the stack.
This may or may not work (untested) but should be close:
void itr_table(lua_State* L, int idx)
{
 lua_pushnil(L);
 while (lua_next(L, idx))
 {
 if (lua_type(L, -1) == LUA_TTABLE)
 itr_table(L, lua_gettop(L));
 lua_pop(L, 1);
 }
}
Then to do the global table:
itr_table(L, LUA_GLOBALSINDEX);

You forget to push an initial nil on the stack before entering you
while loop (see lua_next documentation example). Here is what your
code could look like :
int dosomestuff(lua_State* L, int index)
{
 // Do something with value at index (which is not a table)
 return 1;
}
int parsetable(lua_State* L, int index)
{
 // Push an initial nil to init lua_next
 lua_pushnil(L);
 // Parse the table at index
 while (lua_next(index)!=0)
 {
 if (lua_istable(L, -1)
 {
 parsetable(L, -1);
 }
 else
 {
 dosomestuff(L, -1);
 }
 // Pop value, keep key
 lua_pop(L, 1);
 }
 return 1;
}
int parseglobals(lua_State* L)
{
 parsetable(L, LUA_GLOBALSINDEX);
 return 0;
}
