Build Status
lua_bufflib
lua_bufflib is a library that provides string buffers for Lua 5.1 and 5.2. The buffer code is largely based on Lua 5.2's luaL_Buffer code.
Installation
lua_bufflib can be installed through LuaRocks using luarocks install lua_bufflib.
If you prefer to compile it yourself, just link lua_bufflib.c with Lua and copy the shared library to your package.cpath.
I've included a Visual Studio 2012 solution that can be used to compile lua_bufflib on Windows. The solution includes predefined configurations for Lua 5.1, 5.2 and LuaJIT; but you may need to change the include directories (Properties> C/C++> General> Additional Include Directories) and the Lua import library path (Properties> Linker> Input> Additional Dependencies) to match your setup.
