RE: Call module function from C

["Tony Paloma" <drunkenf00l@...>]

Thank you, this worked. Also, GetLuaState() is inlined so declaring it at
the top would make no difference.

I'm not very good with Lua's C interface so perhaps you could help me
understand this. The first line you gave me is pretty self explanatory, but
what is pushliteral doing? And then why do we get and remove the 2nd item on
stack?

First up, instead of:

Try:

lua_getglobal(GetLuaState(), "hook");
lua_pushliteral(GetLuaState(), "Call");
lua_gettable(GetLuaState(), -2);
lua_remove(GetLuaState(), -2);

Also, I'd be tempted to stuff a lua_State *L = GetLuaState() at the top,
unless GetLuaState is a correctly consted function such that the
compiler can optimise away calls to it.
