NAME

lua_checkstack — ensures that there are at least extra free stack slots in the stack, function indicator [-0, +0, m]

SYNOPSIS

#include <lua.h>

int
lua_checkstack(lua_State *L, int extra);

DESCRIPTION

lua_checkstack() ensures that there are at least extra free stack slots in the stack. It returns false if it cannot grow the stack to that size. This function never shrinks the stack; if the stack is already larger than the new size, it is left unchanged.
