   Lua code could be embedded as C strings inside your C code or be stored as external Lua scripts. Having part of your code logic implemented using Lua code has several advantages: Lua is simpler (less tricky) to learn and use than C, and it is much more high-level. It supports powerful abstractions, such as function closures and object ...

   Feb 2, 2019 · To return values to Lua, a C function just pushes them onto the stack, in direct order (the first result is pushed first), and returns the number of results. Any other value in the stack below the results will be properly discarded by Lua. Like a Lua function, a C function called Lua can also return many results.

   Lua is cross-platform software, since the interpreter of compiled bytecode is written in ANSI C, [4] and Lua has a relatively simple C application programming interface (API) to embed it into applications. [5] Lua originated in 1993 as a language for extending software applications to meet the increasing demand for customization at the time.

   Feb 19, 2022 · With the Lua C API you can: Manage Lua states, creating and closing them. Load libraries into a Lua state. Create variables in a Lua state. Access variables in a Lua state. Run Lua code from C. Run C from Lua by providing C functions to the Lua state. Create uservalues, i.e. values that hold C data structures.

   What is the difference between Lua and C?

   • Lua is an interpreted language or as the wiki informally puts it a "software processed" language. Lua is compiled into byte code (not to be confused with machine code.) and executed by a software interpreter at runtime. C is a compiled language that is compiled into machine code from source code and executed by hardware.

   How does Lua work in C?

   • Lua uses a virtual stack for passing values between Lua and C. The Lua function pushes the parameters into the stack, then C function consumes the values and pushes the result values to stack. Finally, C function returns an integer to indicate the number of values that returned. Second, the Lua Metatable.

   What is a Lua API C function?

   • When calling a Lua API C function, it also stores the virtual stack. It glues everything together and is the main parameter for the API calls. It is the place where all global data were registered to be available to Lua code in a certain state, it is where Lua keeps the global variables and functions.

   Can Lua code be embedded in a C application?

   • If your C application embeds Lua many, if not most, operations can be delegated to the Lua engine, i.e. either to code written using the C-API functions or, better yet, Lua code. Lua code could be embedded as C strings inside your C code or be stored as external Lua scripts.

   Why should I use Lua code?

   • Having part of your code logic implemented using Lua code has several advantages: Lua is simpler (less tricky) to learn and use than C, and it is much more high-level. It supports powerful abstractions, such as function closures and object orientation (in a peculiar way, using Lua tables and metamethods ).

   Can lua call C code?

   • For Lua to be able to call C code, the C code must be made available to Lua. In the simplest form, the host program will create a global variable holding the C function to be called. Any C function that will be called from Lua must follow this protocol: It pulls the arguments, if any, from the Lua stack. It does whatever it’s purpose is.

   Feb 18, 2022 · Giving the experienced programmer C and the student Lua will make them both productive and let them collaborate. Multilanguage development bridges the skill and experience gap. The art of Lua integration is to make available complex software, written in C, to Lua in a way a Lua programmer would expect it.
