Edit: Not sure when or what changed, but it looks like this plugin is no longer needed, as the ffi C-extension loads and works fine when the binaries are placed in the clibs32/clibs64 folders. I went ahead and added a new release containing the FFI binaries built against CE's customized Lua 5.3. (Up to date as of CE 6.5)

Original Post

Quote:

I wrote (using the word loosely) this plugin sometime back in 2013, and ended up losing interest in the project before I ever got around to making it release-worthy. Furthermore, I took a strange approach when loading in the Lua extension, and I don't really remember why. Regardless, it's worked for the last year, and I probably won't ever go back and clean it up, so I figured I'd go ahead and release it.

I've gone ahead and thrown the project up on github, but since I'm unable to post urls at this time, you'll have to navigate there on your own: juntalis/ce-luacontrib

Examples

Code:

local ffi = require('ffi')

-- Load all of our DLLs
local ntdll = ffi.load('ntdll.dll')
local kernel32 = ffi.load('kernel32.dll')
local user32 = ffi.load('user32.dll')
local msvcrt = ffi.load('msvcrt.dll')

unsigned int strlen(const char* s);

]]

function wcslen(ws)
   return tonumber(
      msvcrt.wcslen(
         ffi.cast('const wchar_t*', ws)
      )
   )
end

function wstr2str(ws, length)
   local szbuf = length or wcslen(ws)
   local buf = ffi.new('char[?]', szbuf+1)
   if msvcrt.wcstombs(buf, ffi.cast('const wchar_t*', ws), szbuf) == -1 then
      return nil
   end
   return ffi.string(buf, szbuf)
end

function str2wstr(s)
   local szbuf = s:len()
   local buf = ffi.new('wchar_t[?]', szbuf+1)
   if msvcrt.mbstowcs(buf, s, szbuf) == -1 then
      return nil
   end

end

One of the ways I've been using it:

Code:

--[[--
  Code below is in its own file under the lua folder.(startup.lua)
--]]--
function _M.onOpenProcess(pid)
   local procname = ntdll.pid2name(pid)
   while (pid == 0) or (procname == nil) do
      sleep(500)
      pid = getOpenedProcessID()
      procname = ntdll.pid2name(pid)
   end
   
   startAutoChecks()
   for i,fn in ipairs(getpriv('onstartup')) do fn() end
   setpriv('onstartup', nil)
end

--[[--
  Code found in my main autorun script.
--]]--
onOpenProcess = require('startup').onOpenProcess



Note: Not sure why noblanks.exe is in this project's folder, but here's the source for that, too: (The executable was compiled using pypy translators)

Code:

import os, sys


def entry_point(argv):
   #stdin = os.open(0, os.O_RDONLY, 0777)
   stdin = 0
   app_running = True
   while app_running:
      # Readline implementation.
      line = ""
      count = 0
      while True:
         c = os.read(stdin, 1)
         if len(c) == 0:
            app_running = False
            break
         elif c == '\n':
            break
         elif c == "\r":
            continue
         elif c != ' ' and c != '\t':
            count += 1
         line += c
      
      # Check count. If 0, skip the line.
      if count == 0:
         continue
      print line
   return 0

def target(*args):
   return entry_point, None

if __name__ == "__main__":
   entry_point(sys.argv)
