Hi,

If you want to get a value from the global table you do:

  lua_gettable(lua, LUA_GLOBALSINDEX);

as if it were a noraml table the the given index.

If you want to get the table itself:

  lua_pushvalue(lua, LUA_GLOBALSINDEX);

and that pushes the global table on the stack.

Once you have the global table on the stack you can also do:

  lua_gettable(lua, -1);

to obtain a value from that table, but that has no benefit over the first
option.

It seems that you want to do something else. Maybe you want to obtain a
reference to the table?
