[ANN] CPB - Quickly access C variables and functions from LUA

Toes · 2005-03-09T18:21:52

CPB is a simple, fast, and powerful binding library for LUA. Its goal is to allow seamless access to your C variables and functions from LUA with minimal effort. CPB is integrated in to your program with exactly 1 line of C code. luaopen_CPB(lua_State* L); Add in the CPB library code, recompile and you will then be able to access every C variable and function in your program from your LUA scripts. CPB offers several key features that differ from existing LUA all current binding libraries. * CPB eliminates the need to maintain bindings in your code or in a configuration file. It figures everything out from your exe without requiring any modifications to existing code or creation of definition files. * CPB works at run time on a binary level with your program. It has access to everything in your executable. It doesn’t matter how few or many C variables and functions you want to export. Any additions and changes to your program are automatically handled. * You have full control over what to expose to the script or not. Configure exactly what variables and function to bind from LUA by name with a single function. * CPB is extremely fast and very memory efficient. Bindings are just in time compiled specifically for each function signature and only binding’s that are requested will be created You can get detailed information and a download for the library from here. http://www.thomasandamy.com/projects/CPB Thomas [Edited by - Toes on March 17, 2005 8:24:08 PM]

So I guess I can't use DIA without a copy of VS.NET.

The DIA headers are already part of the download package. Just look in the headers in the zip. The DIA sdk is only 2 header files and a lib. It's trivially small.

I'm done with the new version, which can work without a PDB file. You DO need a PDB to initially create your bindings, but if you want to distribute your software, you can do so with just a custom CPB binary loader data.

If this is true, you can get into legal trouble for distributing those header files.

The C++ version is almost complete, and the latest version doesn't require you to ship out a PDB. Otherwise it's there and functional.
