42 /// A RAII model for values on the Lua stack.
43 ///
44 /// At creation time, the object records the current depth of the Lua stack and,
45 /// during destruction, restores the recorded depth by popping as many stack
46 /// entries as required.  As a corollary, the stack can only grow during the
47 /// lifetime of a stack_cleaner object (or shrink, but cannot become shorter
48 /// than the depth recorded at creation time).
49 ///
50 /// Use this class as follows:
51 ///
52 /// state s;
53 /// {
54 ///     stack_cleaner cleaner1(s);
55 ///     s.push_integer(3);
56 ///     s.push_integer(5);
57 ///     ... do stuff here ...
58 ///     for (...) {
59 ///         stack_cleaner cleaner2(s);
60 ///         s.load_string("...");
61 ///         s.pcall(0, 1, 0);
62 ///         ... do stuff here ...
63 ///     }
64 ///     // cleaner2 destroyed; the result of pcall is gone.
65 /// }
66 /// // cleaner1 destroyed; the integers 3 and 5 are gone.
67 ///
68 /// You must give a name to the instantiated objects even if they cannot be
69 /// accessed later.  Otherwise, the instance will be destroyed right away and
70 /// will not have the desired effect.
