I'm thinking about ways to share objects between states, something I've
not needed to do before, and have come up with a possible technique:
State L1 has the actual object `obj`
State L2 is given a 'forwarding' object `fwd`
A call in L2, e.g. `fwd:foo("test")`, picks up the name of the method,
and it's arguments, than passes them into L1's state, calling the method
on `obj`. Results are then returned to L2 as expected, with non-basic
Lua types being wrapped in their own forwarding objects.
You could expose plain functions this way too.
So, given that basic outline, a couple of questions:
Q1 : Has anyone ever done this? (Is there already a lib)
Q2 : Is this viable? There's obvious marshalling overhead, and limits on
passing types, but if those aren't an issue, does it seem okay? Worst
problem may be thread syncing.
