[ANN] nlua

[Peter Kümmel <syntheticpp@...>]

nlua  0.1.0
-----------

nlua is a binding between C++ and Lua.
(nlua is short for 'namespace lua')

The main idea is to have a C++ API which follows
the 'table' approach. The written C++ code should
a little bit look like Lua code.

Another goal is to have an easy to understand and
maintain code base. Using templates couldn't be
avoided but not much meta-programming is used.


A package with Doxygen-html could be downloaded
form SourceForge:

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/nlua/files/

Browsing, cloning and forking could be done on GitHub:

    https://github.com/syntheticpp/nlua


So, and how will the code look like?

    https://github.com/syntheticpp/nlua/blob/57c1f489d8892e1fa6eafce9a75b94c6fa521eba/test/test_double_wrap.cpp


Code similar to chapter 28 of "Programming in Lua"'s could
be found in the test directory. The files show how PIL's
binding of a C struct could be transformed into nlua code:

The API is not set in stone, comments are welcome.


Cheers,
Peter
