Struct Lua 

pub struct Lua { /* private fields */ }

Primary owned embedding handle.

Lua is intentionally cheap to clone and single-threaded. State access is borrowed at the embedding boundary only; opcode dispatch still runs with direct &mut LuaState access. Captured Rust callbacks will need a call-path adapter that releases this boundary borrow before invoking user code.

Implementations

impl Lua

pub fn new() -> Self

Create a Lua runtime with parser and standard libraries installed.

pub fn try_new() -> Result<Self>

Fallible variant of Lua::new.

pub fn with_hooks(hooks: HostHooks) -> Result<Self>
