Hi everyone. I have a little issue with the __index
metamethod. It seems to me I'm doing something really stupid, but I can't see
where.
do
mt = {}
mt.__index = function(t, k)
print("prueba2 --" .. k) end
ipStartData = {}
setmetatable(ipStartData,
mt)
ipStartData.version = 256 --
0x0100
ipStartData.delimiter = ","
ipStartData.num_boards =
1
ipStartData.board_list = ipBoardInfo
end
The __index method does not get called when I
access the table. But __newindex does. Have I misunderstood the concept of
__index?
What I'd like to achieve eventually is something
like proxy tables (I need to set the members of C structs).
I'm using Lua 5.0.
Thanks in advance,
Ignacio Burgueño
