Annotations for custom C/C++ functions

[Wade7wastaken]

I'm using a custom implementation of lua inside another application that has additional lua functions written in C/C++ to interact with that application. I found another discussion about this topic here, but the solution there was to overwrite the C/C++ functions with nil ones to get annotations. Is there a way to get annotations without having to overwrite the current functions?

You don't need to overwrite any C/C++ function with nil. You can just distribute an extra folder with your annotations. For writing the actual annotations you can see more on the Wiki. The pure annotation-only files start with a ---@meta tag. They don't contain any actual lua code, and as such don't override any function defined in C/C++.
