Out of curiosity, how does this compare to LuaFFI's [1] array and structure manipulation?Hello all, The attached archive contains a first version of a module that essentially serves as a bridge between Lua and C arrays by exposing C arrays (of all types) to Lua as tables with suitable index, newindex, len and pairs/ipairs metamethods. By itself this is probably of little use in Lua but it should be quite useful as a base for other modules or perhaps in the case that Lua is used as an extension language for an application dealing with large matrix/vector data.
