protect
=======
Routine to mark a function / variable as requiring safety
---------------------------------------------------------
.. code-block:: cpp
template <typename T>
auto protect( T&& value );
``protect( my_func )`` allows you to protect a function call or member variable call when it is being set to Lua. It can be used with usertypes or when just setting a function into Sol. Below is an example that demonstrates that a call that would normally not error without :doc:`Safety features turn on<../safety>` that instead errors and makes the Lua safety-call wrapper ``pcall`` fail:
.. code-block:: cpp
struct protect_me {
int gen(int x) {
return x;
}
};
sol::state lua;
lua.open_libraries(sol::lib::base);
lua.new_usertype<protect_me>("protect_me",
"gen", sol::protect( &protect_me::gen )
);
lua.script(R"__(
pm = protect_me.new()
value = pcall(pm.gen,pm)
)__");
);
bool value = lua["value"];
// value == false
