Class DumpState

java.lang.Object
com.prineside.luaj.compiler.DumpState
public class DumpState extends Object
Class to dump a Prototype into an output stream, as part of compiling.

Generally, this class is not used directly, but rather indirectly via a command line interface tool such as luac.

A lua binary file is created via dump(com.prineside.luaj.FPrototype, java.io.OutputStream, boolean): 

 
 Globals globals = JsePlatform.standardGlobals();
 Prototype p = globals.compilePrototype(new StringReader("print('hello, world')"), "main.lua");
 ByteArrayOutputStream o = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
 DumpState.dump(p, o, false);
 byte[] lua_binary_file_bytes = o.toByteArray();
The LoadState 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();
