Hash-Safe Script Splinterer, a Lua Script and hash embedder into C source. Good for putting Redis Lua scripts in your C headers.

Usage: hsss [options] files > output_file.h
        --format [split|whole]       Output as separate or a single struct
        --struct [redis_lua_scripts_t]
                                     C struct name
        --row-struct [redis_lua_script_t]
                                     Hash+name+script struct for 'whole' format.
        --scripts [redis_lua_scripts]
                                     Scripts variable (split or whole format)
        --hashes [redis_lua_hashes]  Hashes variable (split format)
        --no-hashes                  Omit hashes variable (split format)
        --names [redis_lua_script_names]
                                     Script names variable (split format)
        --no-names                   Omit script names variable (split format)
        --count [redis_lua_scripts_count]
                                     integer script count variable
        --no-count                   Omit script count variable
        --each-macro [REDIS_LUA_SCRIPTS_EACH]
                                     Iterator macro
        --no-each                    Omit the iterator macro
        --no-parse                   Skip using luac to check script syntax
        --no-static                  Don't make variables static (file-scoped)
        --prefix PREFIX              Prefix default names with this

Let's say you have two scripts in directory example/:

echo.lua:

--echoes the first argument
redis.call('echo', ARGS[1])

delete.lua

--deletes first key
redis.call('del', KEYS[1])

running hsss --format whole example/*.lua produces

// don't edit this please, it was auto-generated by hsss
// https://github.com/slact/hsss

typedef struct {
  char *name;
  char *hash;
  char *script;
} redis_lua_script_t;

typedef struct {
  //deletes first key
  redis_lua_script_t delete;

  //echoes the first argument
  redis_lua_script_t echo;

} redis_lua_scripts_t;

static redis_lua_scripts_t redis_lua_scripts = {

   "redis.call('del', KEYS[1])\n"},

  {"echo", "8f8f934c6049ab4d6337cfa53976893417b268bc",
   "--echoes the first argument\n"
   "redis.call('echo', ARGS[1])\n"}

#define REDIS_LUA_SCRIPTS_EACH(script) \
for((script)=(redis_lua_script_t *)&redis_lua_scripts; (script) < (redis_lua_script_t *)(&redis_lua_scripts + 1); (script)++)

• EVALSHA:

  //whole format
  redisAsyncCommand(asyncContext, callback, data, "EVALSHA %s 0", redis_lua_scripts.script_name.hash);
  
  //split format

• iterator macro, loading scripts
