kandi X-RAY | rlua Summary

rlua is a C library typically used in Programming Style applications. rlua has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has medium support. However rlua has a Non-SPDX License. You can download it from GitHub.

This library is a high level interface between Rust and Lua. Its goal is to be an easy to use, practical, flexible, and safe API between Rust and Lua. rlua is NOT designed to be a perfect zero cost wrapper over the Lua C API, because such a wrapper cannot maintain the safety guarantees that rlua is designed to have. Every place where the Lua C API may trigger an error longjmp in any way is protected by lua_pcall, and the user of the library is protected from directly interacting with unsafe things like the Lua stack, and there is overhead associated with this safety. However, performance is a focus of the library to the extent possible while maintaining safety, so if you encounter something that is egregiously worse than using the Lua C API directly, or simply something you feel could perform better, feel free to file a bug report.

How to execute async lua code with rlua-async?

QUESTION

How to execute async lua code with rlua-async?

Asked 2020-Sep-24 at 19:14

I'm trying to run/script my existing rust async code with rlua-async. Sadly it is not well documented and has no examples but I have prevailed in getting my async functions defined but I have trouble getting my lua code executed in an async way.

I have created a minimal repository to reproduce the problem here

I figured it out with the kind help of the author of rlua-async. The issue is with the actix-rt itself as it requires 'static lifetimes for the block_on call.

It works fine if you use either futures or tokio instead:

As of release 0.18, the version of Lua can be configured at build time using Cargo features. Lua 5.4 is the default. The rlua API stays the same with different Lua versions, though there are a small number of limitations. Lua code may, of course, behave a little differently between the versions. Only one can be selected at a time, so to select anything other than the default (built-in Lua 5.4) you will need to disable default features.
