Introduction

This will only work for those who use DLua directly, as in, this won't help you with building .dll/.so's for the Lua interpreter.

Code

• example.d

module example;

import dlua.all;
import std.stdio;
import lualibrary;

void main()
{
    lua_State* L = luaL_newstate();
    luaL_openlibs(L);
    lua_pushcfunction(L, &luaopen_example);
    lua_pcall(L, 0, 0, 0);
    luaL_dostring(L, `print(example.func())`);
    lua_close(L);
}

• lualibrary.d

module lualibrary;

import dlua.all;

private luaL_Reg[] example = [
    {"func", &func},
    {null, null}
];

private extern (C) int func (lua_State* L)
{
    lua_pushstring(L, "aargh!!!");
    return 1;
}

extern (C) int luaopen_example (lua_State* L)
{
    luaL_register(L, "example", example.ptr);
    return 1;
}
