Examples from http://www.wellho.net/mouth/1844_Calling-functions-in-C-from-your-Lua-script-a-first-HowTo.html

If you may with to pass a table from your Lua script into a C function, so that the C function can make use of a value from the table code like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
stuff = {hotel = 48, hq = 404, town = 1}
|
||
|
|
....
|
||
|
|
summat = extratasks.dothis(stuff)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This isn't as easy as just passing a value, since the size of a table can vary, and Lua's dynamic memory allocation doesn't sit well, in a simple interface, with C's static model. The "trick" is to tackle it within the C code by using function calls to get (and if necessary) reset values from the table - with the data required by those function calls being processed via the Lua stack.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* Looking up based on the key */
|
||
|
|
/* Add key we're interested in to the stack*/
|
||
|
|
lua_pushstring(L,"hq");
|
||
|
|
/* Have Lua functions look up the keyed value */
|
||
|
|
lua_gettable(L, -2 );
|
||
|
|
/* Extract the result which is on the stack */
|
||
|
|
double workon = lua_tonumber(L,-1);
|
||
|
|
/* Tidy up the stack - get rid of the extra we added*/
|
||
|
|
lua_pop(L,1);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That code retrieves the "hq" value from the table that's been passed in (called stuff in my Lua example above) and stores it into a C variable called workon ... objective achieved!
