This allows C programs to include all necessary + Lua code, even in precompiled form. Even if the code is included in + source form, bin2c is useful because it avoids the hassle of having to + quote special characters in C strings. Example of usage: Run bin2c file1 file2 ... > init.h. Then, in your C program, just do #include "init.h" anywhere in the *body* of a function. This will be equivalent to calling - lua_dofile("file1"); lua_dofile("file2"); ... + lua_dofile(L,"file1"); lua_dofile(L,"file2"); ... + Note that the Lua state is called "L". If you use a different name, + say "mystate", just #define L mystate before #include "init.h". + +def.lua + A Lua script for creating .DEF for Windows DLLs. + Just do "make def" to create lua.def. min.c - The smallest Lua interpreter possible. + A minimal Lua interpreter. + +lua.ico + A Lua icon for Windows. + It was drawn by hand by Markus Gritsch <gritsch@iue.tuwien.ac.at>. + +lua.xpm + The same icon as lua.ico, but in XPM format. + It was converted with ImageMagick by Andy Tai <andy@exp.com>. + +lua.magic + Data for teaching file(1) about Lua precompiled chunks. + +stdcall.lua + A Lua script for changing the calling convention to __stdcall. + Do "make stdcall" and new modules will be created in stdcall/. setfallback.lua - An implementation of fallbacks on top of tag methods. - Useful if you have Lua code written for version 2.5 or earlier, - which uses setfallback. - If you have C code that uses lua_setfallback, then define LUA_COMPAT2_5 - before building Lua (see config). + A Lua implementation of fallbacks on top of tag methods. + You only need this module if you have Lua code that uses setfallback. trace.c A simple execution tracer.
