valuerun :: LuaE e a -> IO a

Run Lua computation using the default HsLua state as starting point. Exceptions are masked, thus avoiding some issues when using multiple threads. All exceptions are passed through; error handling is the responsibility of the caller.

valuerunEither :: Exception e => LuaE e a -> IO (Either e a)

Run the given Lua computation; exceptions raised in Haskell code are caught, but other exceptions (user exceptions raised in Haskell, unchecked type errors, etc.) are passed through.

valuerunWith :: State -> LuaE e a -> IO a

Run Lua computation with the given Lua state. Exception handling is left to the caller; resulting exceptions are left unhandled.

GCManaged state

4 declarations

newtypenewtype GCManagedState

Wrapper of a Lua state whose lifetime is managed by the Haskell garbage collector and has a finalizer attached. This means that the state does not have to be closed explicitly, but will be closed automatically when the value is garbage collected in Haskell.

valuenewGCManagedState :: IO GCManagedState

Creates a new Lua state that is under the control of the Haskell garbage collector.

valuecloseGCManagedState :: GCManagedState -> IO ()

Closes the Lua state and runs all finalizers associated with it. The state _may not_ be used after it has been closed.

valuewithGCManagedState :: GCManagedState -> LuaE e a -> IO a

Runs a Lua action with a state that's managed by GC.
