Loris

Easy scripting in C++.

Features

• Simple and familiar syntax
• Object Oriented
• Auto-binding of c++ functions to Loris
• Mark and Sweep Garbage Collection
• Easy to embed in c++ applications
• Easy to extend

Future Features

• Pre-compilation

Example Usage

#include "loris/loris.hpp"


double multiply(double a, double b)
{
	return a * b;
}

int main()
{
	loris::Loris loris;
	loris.AddSource(R"(
	def hello()
	{
		return multiply(5, 10);			
	}
	)");

	loris.AddFunction("multiply", loris::Def(multiply));
	loris.Compile();

	double result = loris.ExecuteFunction<double>("hello");
}

Example Script

//class named Hello
class Hello
{
	//constructor
	Hello()
	{
		print("this is a constructor");
	}
	
	//member function
	def Greet()
	{
		//call print function
		print("hello world!");
	}
}

def main()
{
	var hello = new Hello();
	hello.Greet();
}

Known Issues

• or and and statements are parsed but the bytecode isn't generated and will cause errors if used
• garbage collection sometimes causes random crashes
