lua_value

easy creation of Lua values and tables at the cost of some safety and speed

.. code-block:: cpp

struct lua_value;
struct array_value;

The goal of these types is to make it easy to describe tables and arrays in C++ code. It works by using a thread local lua_State* variable inside the class so that one can simply pass values. The thread local variable is initialized by creation of a sol::state, but can also be done manually<state-automatic-handlers> with sol::set_default_state. An example of usage is below:
