- Change Lua to satisfy the exception requirements I mentioned in another mail:
- Report errors from Lua as exceptions
- Allow exceptions to safely "fly through" Lua
which would make integration in C++ projects a heck more easy (that is C++
projects on the level of "Exceptional C++" and "Modern C++ Design").
- Replace many of the macros by overloaded inline functions (which makes the
code clearer e.g. because the prototype of a function documents better how
it is supposed to be used compared to a macro).
- Simplify the code by moderate use of C++ features where helpful and
without performance overhead.
- Make the implementation more flexible, e.g. to allow something like
typedef std::complex< double > lua_number.
That's a spontaneous brainstorm...
