Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure if that's what I want. I already do something like that when translating C++ classes to lua, but two dimensional arrays, I'm having dificulties seeing how to do it. Taking your example would it be something like:
// export two dimensional arrays to Lua
static int class_to_lua_table(lua_State* L)
{
string[][] matrix = getMatrix(name);
lua_newtable(L);
int table_stack_pos = lua_gettop(L);
for (int i=0; i<matrix.size; i++)
lua_pushnumber(L, matrix.i); //??????
lua_setfield(L, table_stack_pos, i); //??????
for (int j=0; i<matrix[i].size; j++)
lua_pushnumber(L, matrix.i.j); //??????
lua_setfield(L, table_stack_pos, matrix[i][j]);
return 1;
}
It doesn't make much sense to me....
Thanks,

I don't even bother with metatables. I just convert C/C++ structures
and classes to nested tables. I set up a function that looks
something like this and its inverse if I must get the table back into
the C/C++ struct/class.
// global
static SomeClass c;
// export this to Lua
static int class_to_lua_table(lua_State* L)
{
lua_newtable(L);
int table_stack_pos = lua_gettop(L);
lua_pushnumber(L, c.val1);
lua_setfield(L, table_stack_pos, "val1");
lua_pushnumber(L, c.val2);
lua_setfield(L, table_stack_pos, "val2");
subclass_to_lua_table(L, c.sub); // implementation implied
lua_setfield(L, table_stack_pos, "sub");
return 1;
}
Then, once you've registered that function to Lua, you can do this, for example.
c = class_to_lua_table()
print(c.val1, c.val2, c.sub.data1, c.sub.data2)
I find this to be the simplest solution but I basically just use C/C++
to bootstrap into Lua and implement all the logic in Lua so I either
don't need or can easily wrap the methods in the classes. YMMV.
