Hi.
I'm writing some code where I need to generate functions based on a string template.
For instance, in the following template:
[[
function (cpu)
logger.debug("RLC %s")
cpu.%s = RLC(cpu, cpu.%s)
cpu.PC = (cpu.PC + 2) & 0xffff
end
]]
"logger" and "RLC" are locals. I'm loading that template with load and when running the resulting function, it complains about "logger" being nil.
I could provide a table with those variables, but I have many besides those three, and they depend on the given template. Also, I'd like to avoid those variables being resolved as globals.
Is there any way I could "inject" locals into the function?
I thought about changing the template to:
[[
local logger, RLC
function (cpu)
logger.debug("RLC %s")
cpu.%s = RLC(cpu, cpu.%s)
cpu.PC = (cpu.PC + 2) & 0xffff
end
]]
and then using debug.getupvalue / setupvalue to bind those locals. This seems to be feasible, but I'd like to know if there is an easier way.
Regards,
Ignacio
