luaL_loadfile and luaL_loadstring

[kasperbjerby]

I got luaL_loadfile and luaL_loadstring working all fine but when i try to load a "larger" string or file it crash the game..
I can load the "larger" file or string using the normal lua_run_cl and lua_openscript_cl just fine...

Anyone know why that is the case and maybe a way to fix it?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

How big, exactly? Where is the code you are using to get luaL_loadfile and luaL_loadstring?

How big, exactly?

Allready at around 100 lines of simple "print('test')"

Where is the code you are using to get luaL_loadfile and luaL_loadstring?

lua_gettop = (int(*)(lua_State*))(DWORD)GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle("lua_shared.dll"), "lua_gettop");
luaL_loadstring = (int(*)(lua_State*, const char*))(DWORD)GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle("lua_shared.dll"), "luaL_loadstring");
lua_pcall = (int(*)(lua_State*, int, int, int))(DWORD)GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle("lua_shared.dll"), "lua_pcall");

if(!lua_gettop(luaState)) {
	luaL_loadstring(luaState, string);
	lua_pcall(luaState, 0, 0, 0);
}

I just don't understand why running the lua normaly would work but not this way?
It should be the same thing? Right?
It's also pretty odd that it works fine if the string or file is small.. Like if it only has 1 line or 10..
It also dosen't matter if i put it on multiple lines or one line... I think it just don't like doing that many "actions"

I'll test your code and see if I crash later on today.

use runstring you dumbfuck

use runstring you dumbfuck

Be nice? I am not making a module.. But if you can tell me how to use runstring without the gmod headers i am open for it

you're not even @BigBadWilly 's level so you can stop bragging about your nonexisting skills :willythumb:

You ever got to test it?

nah I got lazy. Go look at dis.

It's a shitty way to do it, though. You should do if (!luaL_loadbuffer call) then LUA->Call. I fucked that part up.

	void RunString(const char* string)
	{
		int code = luaL_loadbuffer(m_luaState, string, strlen(string), "=RunString");
		if(code)
		{
			const char* szError = lua_tostring(m_luaState, -2);
			pCvar->ConsoleColorPrintf(Color(192, 57, 43, 255), "[COMPILE ERROR] %s\n", szError);
			lua_pop(m_luaState, 2);
			return;
		}
		code = lua_pcall(m_luaState, 0, 0, m_iError);
		if(code != LUA_SUCCESS) 
		{
			lua_pop(m_luaState, 1);
		}
	}

is what i use

	void RunString(const char* string)
	{
		int code = luaL_loadbuffer(m_luaState, string, strlen(string), "=RunString");
		if(code)
		{
			const char* szError = lua_tostring(m_luaState, -2);
			pCvar->ConsoleColorPrintf(Color(192, 57, 43, 255), "[COMPILE ERROR] %s\n", szError);
			lua_pop(m_luaState, 2);
			return;
		}
		code = lua_pcall(m_luaState, 0, 0, m_iError);
		if(code != LUA_SUCCESS) 
		{
			lua_pop(m_luaState, 1);
		}
	}

is what i use

It works 1 in 5 times..
Others it runs the lua and then crash..
Just to be sure what is m_iError and LUA_SUCCESS?
