## Sol 2
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/Rapptz/sol)
|
|
|
|
Sol is a C++ library binding to Lua. It currently supports all Lua versions 5.1+ (LuaJIT 2.x included). Sol aims to be easy to use and easy to add to a project.
|
|
The library is header-only for easy integration with projects.
|
|
|
|
## Sneak Peek
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
#include <sol.hpp>
|
|
#include <cassert>
|
|
|
|
int main() {
|
|
sol::state lua;
|
|
int x = 0;
|
|
lua.set_function("beep", [&x]{ ++x; });
|
|
lua.script("beep()");
|
|
assert(x == 1);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
#include <sol.hpp>
|
|
#include <cassert>
|
|
|
|
struct vars {
|
|
int boop = 0;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
int main() {
|
|
sol::state lua;
|
|
lua.new_usertype<vars>("vars", "boop", &vars::boop);
|
|
lua.script("beep = vars.new()\n"
|
|
"beep.boop = 1");
|
|
assert(lua.get<vars>("beep").boop == 1);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
More examples are given in the examples directory.
|
|
|
|
## Creating a single header
|
|
|
|
For maximum ease of use, a script called `single.py` is provided. You can run this script to create a single file version of the library so you can only include that part of it. Check `single.py --help` for more info.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- [Fast](http://satoren.github.io/lua_binding_benchmark/).
|
|
- Supports retrieval and setting of multiple types including `std::string` and `std::map/unordered_map`.
|
|
- Lambda, function, and member function bindings are supported.
|
|
- Intermediate type for checking if a variable exists.
|
|
- Simple API that completely abstracts away the C stack API, including `protected_function` with the ability to use an error-handling function.
|
|
- `operator[]`-style manipulation of tables
|
|
- C++ type representations in lua userdata as `usertype`s with guaranteed cleanup
|
|
- Overloaded function calls: `my_function(1); my_function("Hello")` in the same lua script route to different function calls based on parameters
|
|
- Support for tables, nested tables, table iteration with `table.for_each`.
|
|
|
|
## Supported Compilers
|
|
|
|
Sol makes use of C++11/14 features. GCC 4.7 and Clang 3.3 or higher should be able to compile without problems. However, the
|
|
officially supported compilers are:
|
|
|
|
- GCC 4.8.0+
|
|
- Clang 3.4+
|
|
- Visual Studio 2015 Community (Visual C++ 14.0) and above
|
|
|
|
## Caveats
|
|
|
|
Due to how this library is used compared to the C API, the Lua Stack is completely abstracted away. Not only that, but all
|
|
Lua errors are thrown as exceptions instead: if you don't want to deal with errors thrown by at_panic, you can set your own panic function
|
|
or use the `protected_function` API. This allows you to handle the errors gracefully without being forced to exit.
|
|
|
|
It should be noted that the library itself depends on `lua.hpp` to be found by your compiler. It uses angle brackets, e.g.
|
|
`#include <lua.hpp>`.
