Re: Visual Studio .natvis file for Lua 5.3

Might be you need context information in your watch. Something like

{,,lua53.dll}(lua_State*)L

Hey Benoit,

Thank you for the quick answer but I still can't make it work... I've been using other .natvis in my project so I know where to place it but I only see this (like the lua_State attributes "top, ci, func" are not recognized):

   <Type Name="lua_State">
        <DisplayString>stack top = {top-(ci->func+1),d}</DisplayString>

    </Type>

I did a quick test to demonstrate that my file is being executed properly:

   <Type Name="lua_State">
        <DisplayString>Test1</DisplayString>

    </Type>

I don't know if it makes a difference but I'm using Visual Studio 2017.

Thanks,

Simon
