lua_isnumber() has side-effects, it will convert the argument to a
number if it isn't, and it can (so you can pass "5" and it will become a
number).

I find very useful for debugging to have a "stack print" utility like:

void print_stack(lua_State* L)
{
  for(int i = 1; i <= lua_gettop(L); i++) {
	  switch(lua_type(L,i))
	  {
		  case LUA_TNUMBER:
		     printf("#%d number %f\n", i, lua_tonumber(L,i);
			 break;

			 // ... you get the idea!

if called before you call lua_tonumber(), a function like this would
answer the question of what exactly IS on the stack when you get
called, not just what isn't there.

Cheers,
Sam



My function writeStack did that! And the second argument was LUA_NONE.

No there is no problem with that. The only problem is efficiency... I should enhence this function.

static int tex_draw(lua_State *L)

   int a = luaL_checkint(L, 1);
   int b = luaL_checkint(L, 2);
   int c = luaL_checkint(L, 3);
   int d = luaL_checkint(L, 4);
   static_cast<Texture*>(fl->GetData(a, TYPE_TEXTURE))
->GetImg()->Draw(b, c, d);
   return 0;
}

But please use appropriate names for the a,b,c,d variables.

My file system is a bit complicated ; fl is a fileList that keeps for each file the name and the data associated in an abstract class. GetData loads the data with the constructor depending on TYPE_TEXTURE if it is not loaded before ; and gives the data loaded else. 
The parameters are :
a = index of the file in the filelist(int)
b = x(int)
c = y(int)
d = size(float)



-------------------------------



I have found the problem !

I tried to access and write non allocated memory...
In C, I use a table to get the length of a character. But for non english chars like 'é'<0! So on all my functions using text, i use now unsigned char* and not char*. 

It solved the issue!
