Parse scriptlet function parameters.

Parameters

The format string can use the following placeholders:

• ? – The next placeholder is optional. If the argument is not present, then the corresponding variadic arguments will be skipped over unmodified, allowing you to initialize them to some default value.

• s – A string parameter. Corresponds to the address of a const char * and the address of an int to receive the string and its length.

• i – An integer parameter. Corresponds to the address of an integer to receive its value.

• d – A double parameter. Corresponds to the address of a double to receive its value.

• o – An object. Corresponds to a string representation of the type and a pointer to pointer to the type of the object.

• O – An object plus a reference. Corresponds to a string representation of the type, a pointer to pointer to the type of the object, and a pointer to an integer to hold a reference to the object. This reference must be released by the caller at an appropriate time.

• c – A closure. Corresponds to the address of an integer that holds the pinned reference. Use scpt_push_ref to pass this back to Lua. Use scpt_unpin_ref to allow it to be garbage collected.

• t – A table. Corresponds to the address of an integer that holds the "acceptable index" of the table on the stack. The index will be set to -1 if the parameter was marked as optional, it is present, and it is not a table.

• T – A table. Corresponds to the address of an integer that holds the pinned reference. Use scpt_push_ref to pass this back to Lua. Use scpt_unpin_ref to allow it to be garbage collected.

• @O – an object plus a reference. Corresponds to a string representation of the type, a pointer to pointer to the type of the object, and a pointer to a pointer to hold a reference to the object. This reference must be released by the caller at an appropriate time using lua_delrefobj().

• @c – a closure. Corresponds to the address of a pointer that holds the pinned reference. Use lua_pushobjref() to pass this back to lua. Use lua_delrefobj() to allow it to be garbage collected.

• @T – A table. Corresponds to the address of a pointer that holds the pinned reference. Use lua_pushobjref() to pass this back to lua. Use lua_delrefobj() to allow it to be garbage collected.

An error is raised if the parameters do not match the format string.

Return Value

This function returns the previously set pointer value.
