# Features #
The following features are implemented by these bindings:
* Bind any C/C++ function as a Lua callable function.
* Create custom classes that may be used within Lua scripts.
* Manage memory within C/C++ using Lua garbage collection.
# Example Usage #
The following code demonstrates how to create an instance of an object derived from `luacore` class.
C++
#include "../include/lua_core.h"
class my_class : public luacore {
public:
my_class() {
add_function(&my_class::my_function);
add_function(&my_class::my_static_function);
set_global_int(10);
set_global_float(10.5f);
set_global_bool(true);
add_table(&my_table);
add_string(&my_string);
run();
}
~my_class() {}
private:
static int my_static_function(lua_State *state) {
printf("Static Function Calledn");
return state;
}
int my_function(lua_State *state) {
printf("Function Calledn");
return state;
}
private:
class my_table : public luatable {
public:
my_table(luacore *core) : luatable() {}
};
class my_string : public luastring {
public:
my_string(luacore *core) : luastring() {}

my_class my_instance;
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

# How It Works #
These bindings utilize object-oriented programming concepts such as inheritance and polymorphism.
Each `luacore` object has an associated `luatable`, `luastring`, or `luafunction` object attached to it.
Each object type has an associated metatable which is used by Lua's garbage collector.
If an object is no longer referenced by Lua or another object then its destructor will be called automatically by Lua.<|repo_name|>vashxx/c++-lua<|file_sepoutermost project directory:
