The GMod-Interface allows you to create Lua modules in C++.

You can download it from Google Code here: http://code.google.com/p/gmod-lua-interface/

You can browse SVN online here: http://gmod-lua-interface.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

Purpose

The main reason you'd want to do this is to bind something like MySQL so you could use it in Lua.

Example

Here's how you use the dll in Lua

// Opens the dll if it hasn't already been opened
// The dll should be in lua/includes/modules/ and should be called gm_<modulename>.dll
require( "example" )
 
 
 
// Test the functions we added..
 
MsgBox("Hello there!!");
 
 
 
 
// The module table we added
 
PrintTable( my_module )
 
local var = my_module.GetVariable()
 
Msg("Var Is: \""..var.."\"\n");
