Sorry for the vague subject. I don't know better words to summarize my question.
The following code prints
1
You called foo
Is there any way for the function f to modify o.test? In my code there could be multiple o tables, all sharing the t metatable. I would like function f to store state information in each individual o table.
t = {}
setmetatable(t, {__index =
 function(_, k)
 local function f()
 print("You called " .. k)
 end
 return f
 end
})
o = setmetatable({ test=1 }, t)
t.__index = t
print(o.test)
o.foo()
Will this work for you?
mt = {
 __index = function(tab, k)
 local function f()
 print("You called " .. k .." on "..tostring(tab))
 tab.test = 20 * math.random()
 end
 return f
 end
}
o = setmetatable({ test=1 }, mt)
o2 = setmetatable({ test=1 }, mt)
print(o.test)
o.foo()
print(o.test)
print(o2.test)
o2.foo()
print(o2.test)
assert(o2.test ~= o.test)
