Re: luaL_loadbuffer API does not deal with the buffer from a file that started with '#!'

[Baozeng <sploving1@...>]

Hello, 

Sorry. There is a typo in the code. The example code is as the following (hello.lua):

#!/usr/bin/lua

print('c')

The test.c file is as the following:

#include <stdio.h>

#include<lua.h>
#include<lualib.h>
#include<lauxlib.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>


int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    int error;
    lua_State *L = luaL_newstate();
    luaL_openlibs(L);

    if (argc < 2) {
      printf("error the arg at least two\n");
      return 0;
    }
    char *f = argv[1];
    FILE *E = fopen(f, "rb+");
    if (E == NULL) {
       printf("cannot open file\n");
       return 0;
    }
    fseek(E, 0, SEEK_END);
    size_t size = ftell(E);
    printf("buffer size is %d\n", size);
    fseek(E, 0, SEEK_SET);

    char *buffer = (char *)malloc(size);
    if (!buffer)
    {
        printf("malloc buffer error\n");
        fclose(E);
        return 0;
    }
    if (fread(buffer, size, 1, E) != 1)
    {
        fclose(E);
        return 0;
    }


    fclose(E);  
    
    int e = luaL_loadbuffer(L, buffer, size, "line");
    if (e == 0) {
      e = lua_pcall(L, 0, 0, 0);
    }
    else {
      printf("loadbuffer error\n");
    }
   
    lua_close(L);

    return 0;
}

I compile the code as the following:

gcc -o test test.c -I ../src -lm -llua

Then run the code:

./test hello.lua

It prints

"loadbuffer error"

ahh, just seen that in the title u wrote it just the right way, so i
dunno if there is a typo in ur actual code or just in ur example,
however in the worst case, u can still manually trim the shebang line
from ur scripts, but i think if lua can handle shebangs then it can do
so via the c api...
