Lua script to C++ code

Question

I am writing C functions for Lua. I have many calls like lua_gettable, lua_touserdata, etc

My C function may receive complex structures like table with tables as fields.

It is hard for me to program stacked machine.

Is there way to write Lua script that would be converted to C code.

Or some other tools that may help me to code such C functions for lua scripts.

Thanks.

PS

Here is example:-

local data = {}
data.x = {}
data.x.y = 1
myCfunc(data)

---

int myCfunc(lua_State * L){
 lua_pushstring(L, "x");
 lua_gettable(L, 2);
 lua_pushstring(L, "y");
 lua_gettable(L, -2);
 double y = lua_tonumber(L, -1);
 lua_pop(L, 2);
}

instead of

function myCfunc(data)
 y = data.x.y
end

My real code is much more complex and I am looking for some automated code generation that will help me.
