I have a table on the Lua stack. How can I push a function on the stack that returns this table? -

using c api, have pushed table on lua stack. how can push function on stack returns table?

the closest can find lua_pushcclosure, pushes lua_cfunction on stack, not real lua function, , not acceptable in case because want use setfenv later, works real lua functions.

regards

well, obvious. since must "real lua function", must create real lua function returns table.

something this:

local tbl = ... return function() return tbl end 

this lua chunk that, when executed, return function returns first parameter original chunk called with.

so use lual_loadstring load string. call resulting chuck table; return value function desire.

that being said, question makes no sense. setfenv not accomplish of value here. setting environment of function returns local table not affect stored within table.
