Change Log

Changes from version 1 to 2

The major change in this version is due to a change the internal hashtable utility, which was removed and all the internal metadata which LuaAutoC uses was instead put into the Lua registry and accessed using Lua tables.

The two major advantages of this is that LuaAutoC no longer relies on static variables, and that all the meta-data about the LuaAutoC types can be found by looking into the registry either by C users or Lua users.

Here is a brief (incomplete) change log intended for people porting code.

  • Removal of internal Hashtable. Instead all data is in the Lua registry in Lua tables
  • Merged all source files into single source file. Simplified build process.
  • Renamed header lautofunc.h to lautocall.h.
  • All open and close functions merged into luaA_open and luaA_close
  • All functions now take Lua state L as the first variable.
  • Functions that ended in typeid to indicate they take luaA_Type inputs now end in just type
  • Typedef of luaA_Type is now lua_Integer.
  • Renamed luaA_typeid to luaA_type
  • Renamed luaA_type_name to luaA_typename.
  • Renamed luaA_type_size to luaA_typesize.
  • Removed luaA_struct_next, this proved difficult to implement in the new system.
  • Enum functions no longer take case sensitive argument. Aliases should be used instead (luaA_enum_value_name).
  • Removed luaA_function_void. Use luaA_function and specify void as the return type. This is now dealt with automatically.
  • Removed luaA_function_decl_void. Use luaA_function_declare and specify void as the return type. This is now dealt with automatically.
  • Removed luaA_function_reg_void. Use luaA_function_register and specify void as the return type. This is now dealt with automatically.
  • Renamed luaA_function_decl to luaA_function_declare.
  • Renamed luaA_function_reg to luaA_function_register.
  • Function luaA_function no longer takes argument count. This is now found automatically.
  • Function luaA_function_declare no longer takes argument count. This is now found automatically.
  • Function luaA_function_register no longer takes argument count. This is now found automatically.
  • Exposed argument and return stack sizes for fake stack.
  • Renamed demos folder to examples and all the files within.
  • Changed luaA_call and luaA_call_name to remove their arguments from stack, only leaving return values.
  • Switched argument order to luaA_struct_push_member so that member comes before input.
  • Switched argument order to luaA_struct_push_member_name so that member comes before input.
  • Switched argument order to luaA_struct_to_member so that member comes before output.
  • Switched argument order to luaA_struct_to_member_name so that member comes before output.
