issue using binarylua. Not sure if issue with module or issue with how I'm trying to use it about binarylua_win32 HOT 9 OPEN

I think the problem was a nuget package that was oudated here, seems to work on my side just fine now. Try updating and compiling this module again

binaryload(file.Read("gluac.out"))()

This is how you execute the binary compiled by gluac.

from binarylua_win32.

I'm still getting Couldn't find function in library! when the file gets loaded on my end

from binarylua_win32.

binarylua_win32.zip

Hmm, very strange. Try this precompiled one.

from binarylua_win32.

results in a crash now, so I'm guessing its now doing something in lua atleast. I'm guna put the crash dump through metaconstructs mdump reader real quick

from binarylua_win32.

from binarylua_win32.

Try compiling a simple print("Hello World") and running that

Also if you could upload the existing source and compiled lua file that you tried to run and i'll check it out tomorrow or when i get some free time

from binarylua_win32.

upload_for_binarylua.zip

same issue with crashing. I zipped the compiled and uncompiled lua file for you. much appreciated btw for the help today and tomorrow

from binarylua_win32.

I put your gluac.out into garrysmod\data directory and appended the following code

print("Trying to load binarylua")
require "binarylua"

loaded_func = binaryload(file.Read("gluac.out"))
loaded_func()

To the end of this file garrysmod\lua\menu\menu.lua
This is what i get when i start the game and open the console

I really have no idea what's going on. Maybe try replicating this in the main menu or disabling all addons temporarily. One of them may be interfering, especially if it also uses binary modules... which should not happen.

It also works fine when i start the game and run the code serverside or clientside.

I am compiling binarylua_win32.dll in Visual Studio 2019 with Platform target x86 and unsafe code enabled, and when i run dumpbin /exports binarylua_win32.dll from the visual studio developer command prompt, i get the following lines somewhere in the output which means gmod should be able to load the dll just fine.

    ordinal hint RVA      name

          1    0 000059CE gmod13_close
          0    1 000059BE gmod13_open

I am assuming your crash happens when you call binarychunk(...) in lua?

from binarylua_win32.

Same version of VS here aswell.
I've moved the code to lua/menu/menu.lua at the end of the file now exactly as you have above and did a fresh compile with unsafe code enabled and targeting the x86 platform

as for the VSDCP I get the following output

I also tested with commenting out these 2 lines which stops the crashing when main menu loads
--loaded_func = binaryload(file.Read("binarylua/gluac.out")) --loaded_func()

so my guess is probably something with binarychunk(...) or binaryload(...)? unsure. but loading the with require() isn't causing the issue for sure atleast
