I can't get it to work.
Here is my code, I kept it as simple as possible :
#include <iostream>
#include <lua/lua.hpp>
#include <luabind/luabind.hpp>
#include <luabind/class.hpp>
class MyClass
{
public:
MyClass() {}
~MyClass() {}
void myFunc() { std::cout << "Hi !" << std::endl; }
int getMyVar2() { return (this->myVar2); }
int myVar;
private:
int myVar2;
};
int main()
{
MyClass *m = new MyClass();
lua_State *L = luaL_newstate();
luabind::open(L);
luabind::module(L)
[
luabind::class_<MyClass>("MyClass")
.def("myFunc", &MyClass::myFunc)
.def("getMyVar2", &MyClass::getMyVar2)
.def("myVar", &MyClass::myVar)
];
luabind::globals(L)["globalName"] = m;
if (luaL_dofile(L, "example.lua"))
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", lua_tostring(L, -1));
lua_close(L);
}
The compiler gives me alot of garbage information, and by redirecting the output, i see first :
/usr/local/include/luabind/class.hpp: In instantiation of ‘void luabind::detail::memfun_registration<Class, F, Policies>::register_(lua_State*) const [with Class = MyClass; F = int MyClass::*; Policies = luabind::detail::null_type; lua_State = lua_State]’:
exemple_luabind.cpp:48:1: required from here
/usr/local/include/luabind/class.hpp:311:52: error: no matching function for call to ‘deduce_signature(int MyClass::* const&, MyClass*)’
Line 48 is :
}
Can anyone help me please ? I'm sure it is a beginner mistake..
You may not declare attributes with .def since it's only used for functions. Depending on how you want to access your class members you can use different approaches:
luabind::module(L)
[
luabind::class_<MyClass>("MyClass")
.def("myFunc", &MyClass::myFunc)
.def("getMyVar2", &MyClass::getMyVar2) // function with MyClass:getMyVar2()
.property("myVar2", &MyClass::getMyVar2) // MyClass.myVar2 is only readable, same as MyClass:getMyVar2()
.property("myVar", &MyClass::myVar) // MyClass.myVar is only readable
// vs
.def_readwrite("myVarT", &MyClass::myVar) // MyClass.myVarT is read and writable
];
luabind::globals(L)["globalName"] = m;
