Documentation.

Release Support

The current supported releases of Lua are 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3. Lua 5.0 support upcoming.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] lua-sys = "^0.2.0"

Crate Features

• std: Uses stdlib.
• va-list: Defines bindings for functions that have va-list in their arguments, a dependency on the va_list crate.
• embedded-lua: Links againsts the embedded Lua library.
• system-lua: Attempts to link against the system Lua library. conflicts with embedded-lua
• lua-compat: Enables compatibilty for Lua versions 5.1 and 5.2.

Features std, embedded-lua and va-list are enabled by default.

When feature system-lua is enabled, lua-sys will search for the Lua library using pkg-config on Unix and vcpkg on Windows.

Lua Configuration

Properties of the Lua library can be changed by defining the following environment variables: LUACONFPREFIX - LUA_32BITS Enables Lua with 32-bit integers and 32-bit floats. - LUA_C89_NUMBERS Ensures that Lua uses the largest types available for C89. - LUA_USE_C89 Controls the use of non-ISO-C89 features. - LUA_NOCVTN2S Define to turn off automatic coercion from numbers to strings. - LUA_NOCVTS2N Define LUA_NOCVTS2N to turn off automatic coercion from strings to numbers. - LUA_INT_TYPE="LUA_INT_INT" | "LUA_INT_LONG" | "LUA_INT_LONGLONG" Defines the type for Lua integers. - LUA_FLOAT_TYPE="LUA_FLOAT_FLOAT" | "LUA_FLOAT_DOUBLE" | "LUA_FLOAT_LONGDOUBLE" Defines the type for Lua floats. - LUA_VERSION="<major>.<minor>.<patch>" Sets the system Lua version, defaults to "5.3.5".

Example: sh $ export LUA_32BITS=1 $ export LUA_INT_TYPE="LUA_INT_INT" $ export LUA_VERSION="5.2.0" $ cargo build --no-default-features --features "system-lua va-list"

The LUA_CONF_PREFIX variable can be used to change the name of the above variable: sh $ LUA_CONF_PREFIX="MY_CONF_" MY_CONF_LUA_USE_C89=1 cargo build
