From within the glue function of a Lua usertype, is it possible to obtain a string name of the variable that the glue function instantiates. Let my clarify a bit. -- lua code starts here MyLuaObject = MyCppClass:new() // C++ glue code here map<string, MyCppClass> ObjectMap; tolua_MyCppClass_new() { //... //... obtain the variable name, "MyLuaObject" in this case string variableName = ??? ObjectMap.insert(pair<string, MyCppClass>(variableName, MyCppClass()); void* userdata = &ObjectMap[variableName]; //... return it to Lua } In this way the internal program could access "special" variable from Lua. (Variables that it expects to be there). [edited by - MindCode on September 28, 2003 12:31:17 PM]
