LuaC++

LuaC++ is a bridge between Lua and C++ which aims to remove the need to use the C API, including the Lua stack. It currently supports Lua version 5.1.

Check out the example/ and test/ subdirectories for usage examples.

Documentation

Documentation can be browsed online here, or checked out at the gh-pages branch.

Alternatively, run doxygen Doxyfile from the project root directory to generate documentation from source (you might want to change the OUTPUT_DIRECTORY configuration value found in Doxyfile).

Requirements

LuaC++ makes use of the following C++0x features, which means your favorite compiler might not yet be able to compile and use LuaC++:

• variadic templates
• rvalue references
• the tuple module

Additionally, as LuaC++ uses C++ exceptions for error handling, make sure your Lua library is compiled as C++.
