RE: Adding local variables to lua functions, called from C.

["Danilo Tuler" <tuler@...>]

Dan,

I'm not sure what you mean either.
This may be a stupid question, but can't you pass a parameter? It behaves
like a local variable.

function f(a, b, c)
	print(a, b, c)
end

lua_getglobal(L,"f");
lua_pushnumber(L, 1);
lua_pushnumber(L, 2);
lua_pushnumber(L, 3);
lua_call(L, 3, 0);
