Class LoadState

java.lang.Object
com.prineside.luaj.LoadState
public final class LoadState extends Object
Class to undump compiled lua bytecode into a Prototype instances. The LoadState class provides the default Globals.Undumper which is used to undump a string of bytes that represent a lua binary file using either the C-based lua compiler, or luaj's The canonical method to load and execute code is done indirectly using the Globals: 
 
 Globals globals = JsePlatform.standardGlobals();
 LuaValue chunk = globasl.load("print('hello, world')", "main.lua");
 chunk.call();
This should work regardless of which Globals.Compiler or Globals.Undumper have been installed. to construct globals, the LoadState default undumper is installed as the default Globals.Undumper. 
 
 Globals globals = JsePlatform.standardGlobals();
 Prototype p = globals.compilePrototype(new StringReader("print('hello, world')"), "main.lua");
 ByteArrayOutputStream o = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
 org.luaj.vm2.compiler.DumpState.dump(p, o, false);
 byte[] lua_binary_file_bytes = o.toByteArray();
The LoadState's default undumper instance may be used directly to undump these bytes: 
 
 Prototypep = LoadState.instance.undump(new ByteArrayInputStream(lua_binary_file_bytes), "main.lua");
 LuaClosure c = new LuaClosure(p, globals);
 c.call();
More commonly, the Globals.Undumper may be used to undump them: 
 
 Prototype p = globals.loadPrototype(new ByteArrayInputStream(lua_binary_file_bytes), "main.lua", "b");
 LuaClosure c = new LuaClosure(p, globals);
 c.call();
