Re: Modern Lua binding library

[Shunsuke Shimizu <grafi@...>]

Hi,
Luwra [1] is another great library.
Now it supports C++11 compliant compilers, though only C++14 had been
supported once (shameless plugging: this C++11 support is my contribution.)
In contrast to other libraries, with Luara, there is no need to
duplicate method names to bind a C++ class to Lua; which is achieved by
preprocessor macro magic. The following is an example (copied from [1]).

// Register the metatable and constructor
luwra::registerUserType<Point(double, double)>(
    lua,

    // Constructor name
    "Point",

    // Methods need to be declared here
    {
        LUWRA_MEMBER(Point, scale),
        LUWRA_MEMBER(Point, x),
        LUWRA_MEMBER(Point, y)
    },

    // Meta methods may be registered aswell
    {
        LUWRA_MEMBER(Point, __tostring)
    }
);

Even though, Luwra is boost-free and not very complex, especially when
compared to luabind.

Cheers,
Shunsuke.
