Add toluapp subtree (#712) * First commit! * Import to git * Droping down CMake requirement * Corrected installation of libraries * Adding travis build * Updated cmake macros * Fixed find package * Updated travis hook * Updated travis hook * Patch to support Lua 5.3. * Fix Lua header include directives in tolua++.h Use angle bracket rather than double quotes when including Lua headers in the tolua++ header. This fixes a problem on systems that default to a Lua version newer than 5.1 and install the tolua++ header to the same directory as newer Lua headers. As there are (usually) no Lua headers in the same directory when building tolua++ itself, the preprocessor will look to the include directories passed to the compiler, one of which would be the Lua 5.1 include directory, and tolua++ will build with those (correct) headers. Then the tolua++ header is usually installed in the default include directory, alongside the newer Lua headers, which you wouldn't expect to cause any trouble. But it does cause trouble when trying to build other programs that include the tolua++ header, because now the preprocessor does find Lua headers in the same directory as the tolua++ header, which are the newer (incorrect) headers. Now the program will either fail to compile, because it doesn't support the newer headers, or fail to link with the tolua++ shared object because they were compiled against different Lua headers. Using angle brackets instead of double quotes in the include directives will fix the problem, because then the preprocessor will look to the include directories passed to the compiler first. See http://www.cegui.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7195 * Remove email notifications. * Update travis build. * Build shared and static libs. * Patch toluapp to support Lua 5.3. With this change, support for Lua 5.1 is dropped. This resolve #116. * Add some comments to clarify the toluapp handling. * Add minor sonar fix.

<b>tolua++</b> is an extended version of <a href="http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~celes/tolua/">tolua</a>, a tool to integrate
C/C++ code with <A HREF="http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/lua">Lua</A>. <b>tolua++</b>
includes new features oriented to c++ such as:
<p>
<ul>
<li> Support for <b>std::string</b> as a <a href="#basics">basic type</a> (this can be turned off by a command line option).</li>
<li> Support for <a href="#templates">class templates</a></li>
</ul>
<p>
As well as other features and bugfixes.

<h3>News:</h3>
<p>

<p>
<ul>
<li> Build process bootstraps.
<li> Added hooks to handle custom types.
<li> Added hooks to handle exceptions.
<li> Fixed issues with newer GCC compilers.
<li> Changed to MIT license. See <a href="COPYRIGHT">COPYRIGHT</a> file for details.
</ul>
<b>27/04/06</b>: Version <b><a href="tolua++-1.0.92.tar.bz2">1.0.92</a></b> released. Some bugfixes and new features:
<p>
<ul>
<li> Fixed garbage collector bug for C objects.
<li> Fixed problems with C compilers (including microsoft's)
<li> Added a .proj file to build with Visual Studio 7 (contributed by Makoto Hamanaka).
<li> New command line option: <tt>-E</tt> to define extra values
<li> New command line option: <tt>-t</tt> to associate C++ types with their lua names (see the <a href="tolua++.html">manual</a> for details)
</ul>
<b>25/02/06</b>: Version <b><a href="tolua++-1.0.91.tar.bz2">1.0.91</a></b> released. This version contains a small garbage collection bugfix for 1.0.90 (thanks to Rolf E. Thorup for the report), everyone should upgrade.
<p>
<b>18/02/06</b>: Version <b><a href="tolua++-1.0.90.tar.bz2">1.0.90</a></b> released. Some bugfixes and new features:
<p>
<ul>
<li> <b>lua 5.1</b> support (see <tt>README-5.1</tt>)
<li> Support for casting operators (for example <tt>operator const char();</tt>)
<li> New utility functions, <tt>tolua.setpeer</tt> and <tt>tolua.getpeer</tt>, for easier (and faster) inheritance from C/C++ objects (only for lua 5.1)
<li> Some small API changes (see the <a href="tolua++.html#compatibility">compatibility section</a> of the manual)
</ul>
<p>
<b>18/10/05</b>: Version <b><a href="tolua++_1.0.7-1.tar.gz">1.0.7</a></b> released. Some bugfixes and new features:
<p>
<ul>
<li> New command line option: -C, to disable the cleanup of included lua code (for easier debugging).
<li> Merged <a href="http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2005-09/msg00227.html">Mildred's</a> patch: embedded lua chunks have better names, code on package initializer function is nested.
<li> New hook: <tt>parser_hook</tt>, allows modifications to the behavior of the main parser.
<li> Objects can be private (or protected). This doesn't affect the normal usage (everything is public by default), but it's useful to declare types that don't export any code, but serve
as 'support' for other declarations.
<li> Misc bugfixes.
</ul>
<p>
<b>01/9/05</b>: Version <b><a href="tolua++_1.0.6-1.tar.gz">1.0.6</a></b> released. Several bugfixes and new features:
<p>
<ul>
<li> Classes can have properties, using the 'tolua_property' keyboard. Property types are customizable.
<li> Added a command line flag -D, to disable automatic generation of destructors for all classes with constructors (for compatibility with tolua5)
<li> Classes with protected or private destructors can be tagged individually using the "TOLUA_PROTECTED_DESTRUCTOR" macro.
<li> Added utility function "tolua.inherit", to allow a lua table to "inherit" from an instance of a C/C++ class
<li> Fixed class constructor bug (it is now possible to use 'ClassName()' to create a lua-owned instance of the class without problems)
<li> Misc bugfixes.
</ul>
<p>
<b>10/4/05</b>: Version <b><a href="tolua++_1.0.5-1.tar.gz">1.0.5</a></b> released. This version contains some minor bugfixes and a new feature,
the <b>tolua_outside</b> keyword, used to specify regular functions as methods of classes or structs. This release is also paired with <a href="lua_qt/">lua_qt</a>
version 0.0.1a.
<p>
<b>1/2/05</b>: version <b><a href="tolua++-1.0.4.tar.bz2">1.0.4</a></b> released. This version contains some bugfixes and new features:
<p>
<ul>
<li> Ability to customize tolua++'s behaviour to add functionality.
<li> Basic support for multiple inheritance.
<li> Several bugfixes on the parser.
<li> <a href="tolua++_1.0.4-3_i386.deb">Debian package</a> available for download.
</ul>
<p>
Most of the changes on this version were added for <a href="lua_qt/">lua_qt</a>, a package
to bind the <a href="http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/index.html">Qt</a> toolkit to lua.
<p>
<b>20/9/04</b>: version <b><a href="tolua++-1.0.3.tar.bz2">1.0.3</a></b> released. This version contains major bugfixes:
<p>
<ul>
<li> Fixed bugs in object tracking (the 'memory address' bug; there's still some work left, but people should be able to use <tt>union</tt>s with no problems)</li>
<li> Fixed parser bugs, functions with template parameters should work, also functions with default parameters that call constructos and with commas on them should work.</li>
<li> Added a <tt>__call</tt> method for class names, to replace <tt>new_local</tt> to create instances owned by lua.
<li> Fixed other minor bugs.</li>
<li> Removed the link to win32 binaries, since I aparently don't know what the hell I'm doing with a microsoft compiler ;-)</li>
</ul>
<p>
Everyone should upgrade.
<p>
<b>23/10/03</b>: version <b><a href="tolua++-1.0.2.tar.bz2">1.0.2</a></b> released. This version contains major bugfixes:

You can find the manual <a href="tolua++.html">here</a> or under the doc/ directory
on the distribution.

I'll also be adding interesting addons/examples to <a href="http://lua-users.org/wiki/ArielManzur">my page</a>

<h3>Instalation</h3>
<p>
tolua++ uses <a href="http://www.scons.org">SCons</a> to build. SCons is based on
python, you can get a stand-alone version on <a href="http://www.scons.org">
their website</a>. After you have SCons, follow this simple instructions:
<p>
<li> Type '<b>scons all</b>' to compile.</li>
<li> Type '<b>scons install</b>'. The default install prefix is /usr/local, so if you are
on a POSIX system, it should work. On other systems, you can change it with the
'<b>prefix</b>' option on command line.
<p>
<b>scons prefix=/usr install</b>
<p>
<i>or on windows</i>
<p>
<b>scons "prefix=c:\Program Files\Visual C" install</b>
<p>
Use <b>scons -h</b> to see a list of available command line options.
<p>
The files you need (in case you want to do a <b>manual install</b>) are:
<ul>
<li> bin/tolua++[.exe] - the main binary
<li> include/tolua++.h - the header file
<li> lib/libtolua++.a <i>or</i> lib/tolua++.lib - the library
</ul>
<li> See INSTALL for instructions on how to install without SCons. There are also instructions on how
to build without scons at the <a href="http://lua-users.org/wiki/CompilingToluappWithoutScons">lua-users wiki</a>
(if you know the author of this, <a href="mailto:tolua@codenix.com">contact me</a>)</li>
<li> For <b>lua 5.1</b>, see <tt>README-5.1</tt>
