Features

Currently, the parser supports:

• public methods
• public attributes read/write
• pseudo-attributes read/write by calling getter/setter methods.
• custom bindings (for methods and global functions).
• custom read/write attributes (with void *userdata helper, union handling)
• public class methods
• public static attributes read/write
• pointer to member (gc protected)
• cast(default)/copy/disable const attribute
• member pointer assignment (gc protected)
• natural casting from std::string to string type (can include '\0')
• class instantiation from templates through typedefs
• class alias through typedefs
• bindings for superclass
• automatic casting to base class
• default argument values
• overloaded functions with optimized method selection from arguments
• operator overloading (even operator[], operator() and operator+= and such)
• return value optimization (no copy)
• simple type garbage collection optimization (no __gc method)
• namespace
• nested classes
• class enums
• global enums
• build system
• group multiple bindings in a single library
• rewrite class or library names
• native Lua table wrapping setmetatable({super = obj}, Vect)
• callback from C++ with error handling in Lua (with self.error).
• error function captures current 'print' function and can be used with self._errfunc.
• fully tested
• custom method binding name
