You can debug the Lua plug-in on vs, that is, vslua. Vslua can not only debug independent Lua scripts, but also debug Lua functions called in C ++, such as luabind and luaplus. You only need to set the vslua compiler to a DLL with the Lua export symbol, you can use this DLL for debugging Lua, which is quite convenient. In this way, we can discard the previous practice of printing information everywhere. It's so late. However, vslua currently only supports the English version of.
With vslua, you can easily integrate the Lua language into the Visual Studio development environment, including syntax highlighting, automatic input, and powerful debugging tools.
