Xlua Custom Loading Module Design

Xlua Custom Loading Module Design

require

load a module example

requrie(moduleName)

load sequence flow

firstly, require is a function

package.loaded 
{
    _G 
    { 
        require =  function: 0x003c3990
    }
}

pseudo code

function require(moduleName)
  if not package.loaded[moduleName] then
    local loader = findloader(moduleName)
    if loader == nil then
        error(" loader == nil ", moduleName)
    end 
    
    package.loaded[moduleName] = true? notice this why here is true ?
    
    local res = loader(moduleName)
    if res ~= nil then
      package.loaded[moduleName] = res
    end
  end
  return package.loaded[moduleName]
end

how to find a loder

package 
{
    loaded	:	table: 0x00332468
    loaders	:	table: 0x00333418 
    
    preload	:	table: 0x00333d88
    
    path : ""
    
    cpath	:   ""
    loadlib	:	function: 0x00333358
    
}

use package.loaders

here is debug watch window
