Detailed Description

Ensures that the Lua stack maintains its original height upon exit.

Use an instance of this class to check that a piece of code does not have side-effects on the Lua stack.

To be used within a test case only.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

anonymous_namespace{test_utils.hpp}::stack_balance_checker::stack_balance_checker	(	lutok::state &	state_,
		const bool	with_sentinel_ = `true`
	)

inline

Constructs a new stack balance checker.

Parameters:

state_	The Lua state to validate.
with_sentinel_	If true, insert a sentinel item into the stack and validate upon exit that the item is still there. This is an attempt to ensure that already-existing items are not removed from the stack by the code under test.

anonymous_namespace{test_utils.hpp}::stack_balance_checker::~stack_balance_checker ( void )

inline

Destructor for the object.

If the stack height does not match the height when the instance was created, this fails the test case.
