Re: [Wxlua-users] wxSocket sample code ?

[Steve K. <ha...@ya...>]

wxLuaSocket is a C++ class for the wxLua app to communicate with a
spawned wxLua process for debugging. It is not a generic socket class,
nor is it wrapped for use in lua.

Ah ok I understand it now,  Thanks

Here's the interface file for the socket classes of wxWidgets that
wxLua wraps. You use them in wxLua as you would in C++, but I have to
admit that I've never tried them. See the wxWidgets documentation.
Great ; I will try this way

Sorry never tried this either.
couroutine in lua IMHO is not really a replacement for thread. But I think using it in wxLua is convinient enough to overcome the limitation; as if I have a
lua_interp = new wxLuaState(NULL, wxID_ANY);
and whenever I do  a 

int retval=lua_interp->RunFile(lua_file);

wxApp will spawn a new thread (?)  to run the lua file and control return immediately. If this is correct then I can spawn several lua_file in OnInit() without blocking the GUI; and the lua_file might be for the server process, the GUI.

Correct me if I am wrong please.

I don't know know what you mean by this?
:-).  If you enable wxLuaDebug then you need to enable wxLuaSocket and have to link your application with it even not using it, that is what I mean. But I can build the library only without debug and socket and wxlua, which is fine, just save about 400Kb of size though.


Thank you very much.

Cheers
