Hi,
I'm trying to replace the Lua default l_alloc function with my own one. My aim is to have all memory Lua allocates inside a single array of pre-allocated memory.
<snip>
void* alloc_impl_manual( void* ptr, size_t osize, size_t nsize )
{
 if (nsize)
 {
std::vector<unsigned char>* mem = new std::vector<unsigned char>(nsize);
 //yes, it will leak. don't care for now
return &(*mem)[0]; //returned memory position should be aligned by new
 }
 return NULL;
}
Ummm, besides the leak, should you not be returning:
 return( mem )
since mem is already a pointer to the memory you allocated?
And this expression &(*mem)[0] is very strange. I parse that as:
(the adress of ( (the contents of mem) ???? )
my compiler warns that the subscripted value is neither an array nor a
pointer...
