hslua: A Lua language interpreter embedding in Haskell
This is a package candidate release! Here you can preview how this package release will appear once published to the main package index (which can be accomplished via the 'maintain' link below). Please note that once a package has been published to the main package index it cannot be undone! Please consult the package uploading documentation for more information.
Warnings:
- 'ghc-options: -O2' is rarely needed. Check that it is giving a real benefit and not just imposing longer compile times on your users.
The Foreign.Lua module is a wrapper of Lua language interpreter as described on lua.org.
This package contains a full Lua interpreter version
5.3.4. If you want to link it with a system-wide Lua
installation, use the system-lua flag.
Example programs are available in a separate repository.

Flags
Automatic Flags
| Name | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| system-lua | Use the system-wide Lua instead of the bundled copy. | Disabled |
| apicheck | Compile Lua with -DLUA_USE_APICHECK. | Disabled |
| luajit | Link with LuaJIT. This implies flag system-lua as well. | Disabled |
| lua501 | Build against lua 5.1. | Disabled |
| lua502 | Build against lua 5.2. | Disabled |
| use-pkgconfig | Build using pkg-config to discover library and include paths. This is only used with system-lua and luajit. | Disabled |
Use -f <flag> to enable a flag, or -f -<flag> to disable that flag. More info

[back to package description]hslua – Lua interpreter interface for Haskell
Hslua provides bindings, wrappers, types, and helper functions to bridge haskell and lua.
Using a different lua version
To use system-wide installed Lua/LuaJIT when linking hslua as a dependency,
build/install your package using --constraint="hslua +system-lua" or for
LuaJIT: --constraint="hslua +system-lua +luajit". For example, you can install
Pandoc with hslua that uses system-wide LuaJIT like this:
cabal install pandoc --constraint="hslua +system-lua +luajit"
FAQ
Where are the coroutine related functions? Yielding from a coroutine works
via longjmp, which plays very badly with Haskell's RTS. Tests to get
coroutines working with HsLua were unsuccessful. No coroutine related functions
are exported from the default module for that reason. However, raw bindings to
the C API functions are still provided in Foreign.Lua.RawBindings. If you get
coroutines to work, or just believe that there should be wrapper functions for
other reasons, we'd love to hear from you.
