nicy_eval

Evaluate inline Luau code and print the result.

C Signature

void nicy_eval(const char* code);

Parameters

Description

nicy_eval creates an isolated Luau state, loads the code, and executes it. Results are printed to stdout. Errors are printed to stderr.

Unlike nicy_start, it:

• Does not run the task scheduler
• Creates a fresh state each time (no shared globals)
• Is intended for quick one-liners and tests

Example (C)

#include "NicyRuntime.h"

int main() {
    nicy_eval("print(2 + 2)");
    nicy_eval("print('Hello from Luau!')");
    return 0;
}

Notes

• The code is loaded as a chunk — no file-based module resolution
• Each call is independent (no state sharing)
• Errors terminate the program (no recovery)
