Sorry if this is a stupid question. But either I can't find the
answer
in the docs because of a "selective" blindness or it's not so obvious
(I'm a newbie in Lua world). So here is the question:
Other people have actually answered your question, but you may want to
consider adopting a slightly different approach: instead of parsing
your
data structure from C, you could instead parse it from Lua and inform
your C code of the data it needs that way. This might make the code
easier to handle. So either:
for index, o in ipairs(applications) do
inform_c_of_application_type(index, o.type)
end
...or:
function GetApplicationType(i)
return applications[i].type
end
...depending on whether you want C or Lua to own the data structures.
Either way, putting the messy bits of the code in Lua might be easier
and more reliable than trying to do it in C --- performance isn't an
issue, right?
