your C code seems to be roughly equivalent to this in Lua:
function newInstance ()
local mt1 = {half = 0.5}
local mt2 = getclasstable()
local udata=newuserdata()
setmetatable (udata,mt1)
setmetatable (udata,mt2)
end
but what you want should be something like this:
function newInstance ()
local innerstorage = {half =0.5}
local mt1 = {__index = innerstorage}
local mt2 = getclasstable()
local udata=newuserdata()
setmetatable (udata,mt1)
setmetatable (udata,mt2)
end
i guess you should also put a setter function in mt1.__newindex, that is left
as an exercise.
