details

members

• scope\set_raw(key, val)  – set a Lua value in the scope.
  wraps val in a Constant and RTNode before calling set.

  parameters:

  • key (string)
  • val (any)
• scope\set(key, val)  – set a symbol to a RTNode.

  parameters:

  • key (string)
  • val (RTNode)
• scope\get(key)  – resolve a key in this Scope.

  parameters:

  • key (string): the key to resolve

  returns:

  1. (optional RTNode): the value of the definition that was found, or nil
• scope\use(other)  – copy definitions from another scope.
  copies all definitions from other. Does not copy inherited definitions.

  parameters:

  • other (Scope)

static functions

• Scope\new([parent[, dynamic_parent]])  – create a new Scope.

  parameters:

  • parent (Scope): a parent this scope inherits definitions from (optional)
  • dynamic_parent (Scope): a parent scope that should be checked for dynamic definitions (optional)
• Scope.from_table(tbl)  – convert a Lua table to a Scope.
  tbl may contain more tables (or Scopes). Uses Constant.wrap on the values recursively.

  parameters:
