3.10. Tables and arrays manipulation
A new table is created calling sq_newtable, this function pushes a new table in the stack.:
void sq_newtable(HSQUIRRELVM v);
To create a new slot:
SQRESULT sq_newslot(HSQUIRRELVM v,SQInteger idx,SQBool bstatic);
To set or get the table delegate:
SQRESULT sq_setdelegate(HSQUIRRELVM v,SQInteger idx);
SQRESULT sq_getdelegate(HSQUIRRELVM v,SQInteger idx);
A new array is created calling sq_newarray, the function pushes a new array in the stack; if the parameters size is bigger than 0 the elements are initialized to null.:
void sq_newarray (HSQUIRRELVM v,SQInteger size);
To append a value to the back of the array:
SQRESULT sq_arrayappend(HSQUIRRELVM v,SQInteger idx);
To remove a value from the back of the array:
SQRESULT sq_arraypop(HSQUIRRELVM v,SQInteger idx,SQInteger pushval);
To resize the array:
SQRESULT sq_arrayresize(HSQUIRRELVM v,SQInteger idx,SQInteger newsize);
To retrieve the size of a table or an array you must use sq_getsize():
SQInteger sq_getsize(HSQUIRRELVM v,SQInteger idx);
To set a value in an array or table:
SQRESULT sq_set(HSQUIRRELVM v,SQInteger idx);
To get a value from an array or table:
SQRESULT sq_get(HSQUIRRELVM v,SQInteger idx);
To get or set a value from a table without employing delegation:
SQRESULT sq_rawget(HSQUIRRELVM v,SQInteger idx);
SQRESULT sq_rawset(HSQUIRRELVM v,SQInteger idx);
To iterate a table or an array:
SQRESULT sq_next(HSQUIRRELVM v,SQInteger idx);
Here an example of how to perform an iteration:
//push your table/array here
sq_pushnull(v) //null iterator
while(SQ_SUCCEEDED(sq_next(v,-2)))
{
//here -1 is the value and -2 is the key
sq_pop(v,2); //pops key and val before the nex iteration
}
sq_pop(v,1); //pops the null iterator
