Re: Problems with creating a table from backend

[Matt Campbell <mattc@...>]

Hello Jeremy:

The problem is that in the second procedure, you create the table, 
retrieve its stack index, and then call lua_settable to make it a global 
variable.  Calling lua_settable pops the newly created table from the 
stack, making your stored stack index invalid.  Instead, that function 
should begin as follows:

 lua_newtable(L);
 tbl := lua_gettop(L);// get the table reference
 lua_pushstring(L, 'Params');
 lua_pushvalue(L, tbl); // push it again to make it a global
 lua_settable(L, LUA_GLOBALSINDEX);//set the var name "Params" = table 
instance

To keep your pushes and pops balanced, the function should now have this 
at the end:

 lua_remove(L, tbl);

I hope this helps.

BTW, is this Delphi, or some other form of Pascal?  I don't really know 
Pascal, but the relevant code was similar enough to C that I could 
follow it.
