    Lutok is a lightweight C++ API library for Lua. · c200c319
    bdrewery authored
    Lutok provides thin C++ wrappers around the Lua C API to ease the
    interaction between C++ and Lua.  These wrappers make intensive use of
    RAII to prevent resource leakage, expose C++-friendly data types, report
    errors by means of exceptions and ensure that the Lua stack is always
    left untouched in the face of errors.  The library also provides a small
    subset of miscellaneous utility functions built on top of the wrappers.
    
    Lutok focuses on providing a clean and safe C++ interface; the drawback
    is that it is not suitable for performance-critical environments.  In
    order to implement error-safe C++ wrappers on top of a Lua C binary
    library, Lutok adds several layers or abstraction and error checking
    that go against the original spirit of the Lua C API and thus degrade
    performance.
