Greetings,
Luaxx is a thin wrapper around the Lua C API. The wrapper adds some
convience functions and intergrates well with modern C++. This is a
header only library and has no runtime dependencies besides Lua itself.
Luaxx is pretty much just a straight translation of the C api into C++
and does not really add any new functionality. It also does not attempt
to do toLua style integrations. Every function included is documented
but most of the standard Lua C api documentation applies.
I wrote this code, because I could not find anything similar and up to
date with Lua 5.1. This is the initial release, and it does everything
that I have needed it to do, but the library is by no means complete (it
does not wrap all of the API functions, just the ones that I use :).
Patches and comments are welcome.
You can download it from my website http://matt-land.com/luaxx (for
now). If you use Debian Linux, you can build a deb from the sources
using dpkg-buildpackage. A pkg-config file is also included (luaxx.pc).
Great job on the library, however I think it could use a little fixing
for the 'as' function. Passing in a variable of the type in order to
get C++ to know what type to use doesn't sound like the best idea.
Using C++ templates seems to make the most sense to me.
Instead of:
int val = L.as(0, index);
It would be:
int val = L.as<int>(index);
... Just my 2 cents.
