Within my Lua-application I have some own functions defined that are registered with lua_register("lua_fct_name","my_fct_name")
so that they are known to the Lua script.
Now I have some custom/user data that need to be accessible within my_fct_name()
. It is just a pointer to a memory area I manage for my own so I use lua_pushlightuserdata (L,data)
to add it to Lua-context.
Now it seems I don't have the correct position to add these data. When done right after L was created I can't access the data in my_fct_name()
, here lua_touserdata(L,1)
does return NULL
, so it is not available on the stack. When done right before lua_pcall()
executes the script, I get an error message about unexpected data.
So where/when do I have to set my user data so that they are available within my_fct_name()
?
