## Sol
|
|
|
|
Sol is a C++ library binding to Lua. It currently supports Lua 5.2. Sol aims to be easy to use and easy to add to a project.
|
|
At this time, the library is header-only for easy integration with projects.
|
|
|
|
## 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. 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>`.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
Here's an example on how to load a basic configuration struct with a Lua script.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
#include <sol.hpp>
|
|
#include <iostream>
|
|
#include <string>
|
|
|
|
struct test {
|
|
int foo;
|
|
std::string bar;
|
|
double baz;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
test load(const sol::table& t) {
|
|
return { t.get<int>("foo"), t.get<std::string>("bar"), t.get<double>("baz") };
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
int main() {
|
|
try {
|
|
sol::state lua;
|
|
lua.script("foo = 1234;\n"
|
|
"bar = \"hello world\";\n"
|
|
"baz = 1.4;");
|
|
|
|
test c = load(lua.global_table());
|
|
std::cout << '(' << c.foo << ", " << c.bar << ", " << c.baz << ")\n";
|
|
}
|
|
catch(const std::exception& e) {
|
|
std::cerr << e.what() << '\n';
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```

## Supported Compilers
|
|
|
|
Sol makes use of C++11 features. GCC 4.7 and Clang 3.3 or higher should be able to compile without problems. Visual Studio
|
|
2013 with the November CTP should be able to support this as well.
|
|
|
|
## TODO
|
|
|
|
- Support for `operator[]` based retrieval and modifying of tables.
|
|
- Possibly document functions and classes via doxygen.
|
|
- Provide more examples to showcase uses.
