RE: No toLua for Lua 5?

["Benjamin Freidlin" <benfr@...>]

Thanks for that info.

I found another interesting avenue, LuaPlus. Has anyone any experience with this? It seems, and I'm so new to Lua I could be wrong, that LuaPlus integrates better with C++ apps, especially in the Windows and VS.NET world. 

Any thoughts on LuaPlus?

There was a SWIG for Lua 4 but it is no longer supported AFAIK. It was part of the Lua Gnome project I think.

wxLua uses ctags to parse the wx headers and then a Lua script to turn this into a binding.

toLua is the autobinding generator of preference of quite few people on this list. Hopefully it will be available soon.

If you wanted an example of a project that uses tolua (for Lua 4) you could look at http://doris.sf.net/

What would be the best way right now to automate the task of creating bindings for my C++ classes? I have a pretty clean C++ based 3D graphics/game engine that I want to expose to lua. A lot of the options for creating bindings seem pretty laborious and confusing. I was hoping there would be somekind of SWIG like tool. Was there not a SWIG for lua floating around?

not yet, sorry.
I am still working on it.

Just wondering if this impression is right, is there not a toLua compatible with Lua 5?
