Marshalling data between C and Lua functions is also done using the stack. To call a Lua function, arguments are pushed onto the stack, and then the lua_call is used to call the actual function. When writing a C function to be directly called from Lua, the arguments are read from the stack. Here is an example of calling a Lua function from C:
The Canon Hack Development Kit (CHDK), an open source firmware for Canon cameras, uses Lua as one of two scripting languages. Celestia, the astronomy educational program, uses Lua as its scripting language. Cheat Engine, a memory editor/debugger, enables Lua scripts to be embedded in its "cheat table" files, and even includes a GUI designer.

Stack Overflow is a question-and-answer website for computer programmers. It is the flagship site of the Stack Exchange Network . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It was created in 2008 by Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky .
Lua patterns deliberately lack the most complex regular expression constructs (to avoid bloating the Lua code base), where many other computer languages or libraries use a more complete set. Lua patterns are not even a subset of regular expressions, as there are also discrepancies, like Lua using the escape character % instead of \, , and ...
Also, unlike wp:templates which can be run interactively by edit-preview, the Lua script must be tested by show-preview (or run preview) of another page which uses a template which #invokes the Lua module being edited. In general, make one small change at a time, do a run show-preview, and save after a few good changes to have a version to ...
Lua is dynamically typed. There's no static typing at all. From a syntactic point of view, think BASIC (or even COMAL ) without line numbers and colons rather than C / C++ / Java , Lisp / Scheme , or Forth .
A stack buffer overflow can be caused deliberately as part of an attack known as stack smashing. If the affected program is running with special privileges, or accepts data from untrusted network hosts (e.g. a webserver ) then the bug is a potential security vulnerability .
