Will Lua work in this situation?

[Lloyd <lloyd@...>]

Hi,
  My application needs a continuously changing policy support. This policy  
will be implemented as Lua script. The policy will be changed only by the  
"C functions" which are called from the Lua script.As an example my  
initial policy may look like this:-

if my_c_function1()==10 then
 print("10 from my_c_function1")
else
 print("not 10 from my_c_function1")
end


Later I may need to add support for another function "my_c_function2()"  
"without recompiling my original application". So my new policy script  
would look like this:-

if my_c_function1()==10 then
 print("10")
else
 print("not 10")
end

if my_c_function2()==10 then
 print("10 from my_c_function2")
else
 print("not 10 from my_c_function2")
end

Can I add this kind of functionality using Lua? I read the "C Libraries  
(http://www.lua.org/pil/26.2.html)" section in Lua book. Still I am not  
clear about extending without recompiling the main application code. Some  
hints would be very helpful.


Thanks for helping,
  Lloyd
