Write C/C++ code inline in your Lua code!

For the lazy individuals who want to include optimized C++ code in their Lua code, but don't want to bother with compiling code, this is the library for you!

You can either manually invoke the compiler and the ffi prototype like so:

local cpp = require 'cpp'
local build = cpp:build[[ int sum(int a, int b) { return a + b; } ]]
local ffi = require 'ffi'
ffi.cdef[[ int sum(int a, int b); ]]
print(build.lib.sum(a,b))

or, for the truly lazy programmer, you can combine both these actions in one fell swoop:

local cpp = require 'cpp'
local build = cpp:func('int sum (int a, int b)', 'return a + 1;')
print(build.lib.sum(a,b))

Depends on my lua-ext, lua-template, and lua-make libraries
