This software is a library designed for creating bindings between C++ and Lua, allowing for seamless integration of the two programming languages.
It's important to note that Luabind is specifically written for Lua 5.x and will not work with Lua 4. The library is implemented using template meta programming, which means you won't need an extra preprocess pass to compile your project. This is done by the compiler, making it a breeze to use. Plus, you don't always have to worry about the exact signature of each function that you register. The library generates code depending on the compile-time type of the function.
One disadvantage of Luabind's approach is that the compilation time may increase for the file that does the registration. To avoid this issue, it's recommended that you register everything in the same CPP file. It's also important to note that Luabind is licensed and distributed under the terms of the Boost Software License (BSL1.0) and the MIT License, so you know you are working with a reliable and trustworthy piece of software.
All in all, Luabind is a great software option for anyone looking to create bindings between C++ and Lua. It has great functionality, with the added bonus of being free and open source.
