Squirrel

What is wrong with this code?

int setter_func(HSQUIRRELVM v)
{
   cout << "setter called" << endl;
   return 0;
}

int getter_func(HSQUIRRELVM v)
{
   cout << "getter called" << endl;
   return 0;
}

...

SquirrelObject root = SquirrelVM::GetRootTable();
SquirrelObject table = SquirrelVM::CreateTable();
SquirrelObject delegate = SquirrelVM::CreateTable();
SquirrelVM::CreateFunction(delegate, setter_func, "_set");
SquirrelVM::CreateFunction(delegate, getter_func, "_get");
table.SetDelegate(delegate);

SquirrelObject tmp;

table.SetValue("dog", "bark");
delegate.SetValue("cat", "meow");

tmp = table.GetValue("dog");
if (tmp.GetType() == OT_STRING)
   cout << "The dog goes: " << tmp.ToString() << endl;

tmp = table.GetValue("cat");
if (tmp.GetType() == OT_STRING)
   cout << "The cat goes: " << tmp.ToString() << endl;

tmp = table.GetValue("giraffe");
if (tmp.GetType() == OT_STRING)
   cout << "The giraffe goes: " << tmp.ToString() << endl;

tmp = delegate.GetValue("manatee");
if (tmp.GetType() == OT_STRING)
   cout << "The manatee goes: " << tmp.ToString() << endl;


Output is:

The dog goes: bark
The cat goes: meow

The delegate functions are never called.

table.GetValue()

does this function use sq_get() or sq_rawget() ? sq_rawget() doesn't invoke delegates.

GetValue() is a SqPlus function that calls another SqPlus function called GetSlot(). GetSlot() uses sq_get().

ok, I downloaded sqplus and checked.

SetValue() uses sq_rawset() that internally does a newslot

the get fails because SquirrelVM::CreateFunction() seems to be buggy... at least the overload that you are calling. It creates _get & _set with a wrong typemask/paramcount(so _get fails). I'm not really sure what that function is trying to do and why sneaks in some additional typemask stuff.

Anyway, other than squirrel does what is supposed to do.
