This patch adds a Lua post initialisation wrapper. It already exists for
pure Lua function, now it executes also C. It is useful for doing things
when the configuration is ready to use. For example we can can browse and
register all the proxies.
All the HAProxy Lua object are declared with the same pattern:
- Add the function __tosting which dumps the object name
- Register the name in the Lua REGISTRY
- Register the reference ID
These action are refactored in on function. This remove some
lines of code.
The functions
- hlua_class_const_int()
- hlua_class_const_str()
- hlua_class_function()
are use for common class registration actions.
The function 'hlua_dump_object()' is generic dump name function.
These functions can be used by all the HAProxy objects, so I move
it into the safe functions file.
This patch moves the function hlua_checkudata which check that
an object contains the expected class_reference as metatable.
This function is commonly used by all the lua functions.
The function hlua_metatype is also moved.
When Lua executes functions from its API, these can throws an error.
These function must be executed in a special environment which catch
these error, otherwise a critical error (like segfault) can raise.
This patch add a c file called "hlua_fcn.c" which collect all the
Lua/c function needing safe environment for its execution.
