// LuaState.h
// Declares the cLuaState class representing the wrapper over lua_State *, provides associated helper functions
/*
The contained lua_State can be either owned or attached.
Owned lua_State is created by calling Create() and the cLuaState automatically closes the state
Or, lua_State can be attached by calling Attach(), the cLuaState doesn't close such a state
Attaching a state will automatically close an owned state.
Calling a Lua function is done internally by pushing the function using PushFunction(), then pushing the
arguments and finally executing CallFunction(). cLuaState automatically keeps track of the number of
arguments and the name of the function (for logging purposes). After the call the return values are read from
the stack using GetStackValue(). All of this is wrapped in a templated function overloads cLuaState::Call(),
which is generated automatically by gen_LuaState_Call.lua script file into the LuaState_Call.inc file.
Reference management is provided by the cLuaState::cRef class. This is used when you need to hold a reference to
any Lua object across several function calls; usually this is used for callbacks. The class is RAII-like, with
automatic resource management.
