4/// A safe function using the C ABI that Lua can call.
5///
6/// This type is technically a *subset* of [`lua_CFunction`], as it only allows safe functions.
7/// Different methods will use either [`lua_CFunction`] or `CFunction` based on if they work with only safe functions or not.
8///
9/// It is always safe to convert a `CFunction` into a [`lua_CFunction`] (see [`SafeFn::to_raw`]).
10///
11/// # Protocol
12///
13/// To communicate properly, Lua expects `CFunction`s to follow a specific protocol:
14///
15/// Arguments passed to the `CFunction` are located in the stack (index 1 contains the first argument, etc.),
16/// thus [`LuaState::get_top`] can be used to know the number of arguments received.
17///
18/// Values to return to the caller should be pushed onto the stack (first value is returned first, etc.),
19/// using the returned [`AmountReturned`] to specify how many values were returned.
20///
21/// # Examples
22///
23/// ```
24/// # use low_luajit::{LuaState, AmountReturned};
25/// extern "C-unwind" fn sum(mut lua: LuaState) -> AmountReturned {
26///     // Retrieve the arguments, asserting that they exist and are of the correct type.
27///     let x = lua.check_number(1);
28///     let y = lua.check_number(2);
29///
30///     // Push the value to return and return 1 since we're only returning a single value.
31///     lua.push_number(x + y);
32///     return lua.finish(1);
33/// }
34/// ```
