Library to make bindings between C++ and Lua

Luabind is a library that helps you create bindings between C++ and Lua. It has the ability to expose functions and classes, written in C++, to Lua. It will also supply the functionality to define classes in lua and let them derive from other lua classes or C++ classes. Lua classes can override virtual functions from their C++ baseclasses. It is written towards Lua 5.x, and does not work with Lua 4.

luabind - functions with more than 10 arguments

I would like to use functions with more than 10 arguments with luabind, but I get some C2784 and C2780 compiler errors (VS2012 Express). It seems that the problem is a limitation of the used boost library. In luabind it is possible to set the…

Why can't I catch a luabind::error exception when my lua code throws an error?

When you call a LUA function from c++ and there is a runtime error LuaBind throws a luabind::error exception that you can catch and then read the stack to see what the error was. My debugger definitely catches this exception but when I let the…
