-- BindingsProcessor.lua

-- Implements additional processing that is done while generating the Lua bindings

--[[
The primary purpose of this file is to provide transformations for ToLua - it is loaded by ToLua++
before processing the C++ code.

This file can also be used as a standalone Lua program to actually generate the bindings, it invokes
ToLua++ if executed by a regular Lua interpreter

The transformations implemented:
	- Modify ToLua++ behavior so that it doesn't generate bindings for private and protected members
	- Export additional files to be included in cLuaState:
		- Forward declarations and typedefs for custom classes' pointers
		- Pushing and popping of bindings' classes

To parse DoxyComments, the preprocessor first replaces them with markers and then the parser uses
those markers to apply the DoxyComment to the next or previous item in the container, based on
the DoxyComment type.

Placeholders in use (i = internal ToLua++):
	- \1 and \2: (i) Embedded Lua code
	- \3 and \4: (i) Embedded C code ("<>")
	- \5 and \6: (i) Embedded C code ("{}")
	- \17 and \18: DoxyComment for next item ("/** ... */") via an ID lookup
	- \19 and \20: DoxyComment for previous item ("///< ... \n") via an ID lookup
