-
The
luaopen_*
functions (to open libraries)
cannot be called directly,
like a regular C function.
They must be called through Lua,
like a Lua function.
-
Function
lua_open
was replaced by lua_newstate
to
allow the user to set a memory-allocation function.
You can use luaL_newstate
from the standard library to
create a state with a standard allocation function
(based on realloc
).
-
Functions
luaL_getn
and luaL_setn
(from the auxiliary library) are deprecated.
Use lua_objlen
instead of luaL_getn
and nothing instead of luaL_setn
.
-
Function
luaL_openlib
was replaced by luaL_register
.
-
Function
luaL_checkudata
now throws an error when the given value
is not a userdata of the expected type.
(In Lua 5.0 it returned NULL
.)
