Re: how to call lua scripts from C/C++ without recompiling each time?

[Kevin Meinert <kevin@...>]

Thanks Peter, the code at 
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2003-07/msg00082.html is very similar to 
what I'm (now) doing with ref and getref, except my version of lauxlib in 
lua 5.0 doesn't have the luaL_ versions of ref and getref (only the lua_ 
versions for 4.0 compatibility defined in lua.h).

I'll switch my code to use rawgeti instead, to avoid using the auxlib.

Any idea where luaL_ref is defined?  is it in CVS only?  or has 5.0 
changed since I last got the 5.0 tarball?  I didn't see a CVS link to try 
to find it there.
