Lua Rings库介绍

Rings需求

　　如果有一段lua脚本代码， 本来来源不可靠， 可能有安全性问题， 或者不像让这份代码污染了正在执行的lua环境， 则需要lua rings工具出厂了。

其在主lua环境中，即在宿主脚本中， 调用rings库创建一个子的lua环境， 将不可靠的lua代码在子lua环境中运行， 运行完毕环境销毁， 一点都不影响宿主环境。

Rings is a library which provides a way to create new Lua states from within Lua. It also offers a simple way to communicate between the creator (master) and the created (slave) states.

接口

基本接口

rings.new (env)  --- 创建一个lua环境

Returns a newly created Lua state. Takes an optional environment to be used by remotedostring. If the environment is nil, it defaults to the master_M or _G tables.

state:close ()   --- 销毁创建的lua环境

Closes the state.

state:dostring (string, ...)  ---- 在lua环境中执行一段lua代码

Executes a string in the slave state. The arguments could be accessed exactly as in a vararg function. Valid types of arguments and return values are: number, string, boolean, nil and userdata (which are converted to lightuserdata).
Returns a boolean indicating the status of the operation,
followed by the returned values or an error message in case of error.

此插件还考虑到， 子环境如何存储 数据， 保证与宿主环境可以交换数据：

Stable

Stable is a simple API which provides a way for a slave state to store and retrieve data to and from its master state. This library is not opened automatically in a slave state.

stable.get (key)

Returns the value of a given key.

stable.set (key, value)

Stores a value associated to a key. Returns nothing.

实验

参考其源代码中最简单的例子sample.lua

- $Id: sample.lua,v 1.4 // :: carregal Exp $

require"rings"

S = rings.new ()

data = { , , , }
print (S:dostring ([[
aux = {}
for i, v in ipairs {...} do
        table.insert (aux, 1, v)
end
return unpack (aux)]], unpack (data)))

-- 主要在此处说明， 子环境不会污染宿主环境， 同时说明了 宿主环境中执行不可靠代码， 将会污染宿主环境自身
if nil == aux then
        print("aux do not exist in Global Environment!");

        f = loadstring([[
                aux = {1}
        ]])
        print(f())          --> do lua code

        print("after call global dostring, aux created, aux[0]=="..aux[]);
end

S:close ()

print("OK!")
~                             

实验结果：

xx:~/share_windows/openSource/lua/rings-master/tests$ lua sample.lua
true    14    13    12
aux do not exist in Global Environment!

after call global dostring, aux created, aux[0]==1
OK!
