// LuaState.h

// Declares the cLuaState class representing the wrapper over lua_State *, provides associated helper functions

/*
The contained lua_State can be either owned or attached.
Owned lua_State is created by calling Create() and the cLuaState automatically closes the state
Or, lua_State can be attached by calling Attach(), the cLuaState doesn't close such a state
If owning a state, trying to attach a state will automatically close the previously owned state.

Calling a Lua function is done internally by pushing the function using PushFunction(), then pushing the
arguments and finally executing CallFunction(). cLuaState automatically keeps track of the number of
arguments and the name of the function (for logging purposes). After the call the return values are read from
the stack using GetStackValue(). All of this is wrapped in a templated function overloads cLuaState::Call().

Reference management is provided by the cLuaState::cRef class. This is used when you need to hold a reference to
any Lua object across several function calls. The class is RAII-like, with automatic resource management. Note
that the cRef object is not inherently thread-safe and is not notified when its cLuaState is closed. For those
purposes, cTrackedRef can be used.

Callbacks management is provided by the cLuaState::cCallback class. Use a GetStackValue() with cCallbackPtr
parameter to store the callback, and then at any time you can use the cCallback's Call() templated function
to call the callback. The callback management takes care of cLuaState being destroyed - the cCallback object
stays valid but doesn't call into Lua code anymore, returning false for "failure" instead.
