LuaJIT FFI Library (C code from LuaJIT)

[AntonioModer]

I find awesome library in LuaJIT.

The FFI library allows calling external C functions and using C data structures from pure Lua code.

Wow, can we do this in LÖVE ?

Yes, if the build of LÖVE you're using is linked with LuaJIT instead of regular Lua. It is the default for 0.9.1, so you probably can.

FYI, yes you can take advantage of LuaJIT's FFI library (thanks to LuaJIT). I was able to successfully use the clipper FFI bindings at http://luapower.com/clipper.html. Once you build the dynamic library, simply put that and your .lua file with your FFI bindings into your project like you would any other .lua file, and

Code: Select all

local clipper = require "clipper"

Piece of cake!

Include C code right in your Lua code: https://github.com/nwhitehead/vida
