Object identity

Can no one answer this? Luabind is the only binding library that does not appear to be abandoned. If I can’t solve this, I am going to drop Lua.

I have my classes and binding set up as follows:

class Object

class Object_wrap : public Object, public luabind::wrap_base {};

class Entity : public Object

class Entity_wrap : public Entity, public luabind::wrap_base {};

class Model : public Entity

class Model_wrap : public Entity, public luabind::wrap_base {};

class_<Object,Object_wrap>("Object")

class_<Entity,Entity_wrap,Object>("Entity")

class_<Model,Model_wrap,Entity,Object>("Model")

Is that all I have to do to make luabind consistently use the same luabind::object? It doesn’t appear to have any effect.

Best Regards,

May help if you explain what exactly you mean with "same". What
exactly you are trying to accomplish where and how?

If you want to compare LuaBind class objects in Lua. You can do something like:

int RawEqual(lua_State* L)
{
// need two valid args
::luaL_checkany(L, 1);
::luaL_checkany(L, 2);

// check if the objects on the stack are luabind objects
if (::lua_type(L, 1) == LUA_TUSERDATA && ::lua_type(L, 2) == LUA_TUSERDATA)
{
luabind::detail::object_rep* pObj1 = luabind::detail::get_instance(L, 1);
luabind::detail::object_rep* pObj2 = luabind::detail::get_instance(L, 2);

if (pObj1 != NULL && pObj2 != NULL)
{
const std::pair<void*, int> Instance1 =
pObj1->get_instance(pObj1->crep()->classes().get(pObj1->crep()->type()));

const std::pair<void*, int> Instance2 =
pObj2->get_instance(pObj2->crep()->classes().get(pObj2->crep()->type()));

if (Instance1.first != NULL && Instance2.first != NULL)
{
// return object identity only (naked ptrs)
// get_instance() unwraps smart ptrs already
::lua_pushboolean(L, (Instance1.first == Instance2.first));
return 1;
}
}
}

::lua_pushboolean(L, ::lua_rawequal(L, 1, 2));
return 1;
}

the "get_instance" is a bit of a hack. Not sure if there's an easier way.

That is not true Josh although I am not about to discuss other bindings on this mailing list. I have seen your many postings here and on gamedev and can understand your frustration, why not try the Lua mailing list or IRC channel for alternatives, most of which I should note are listed on the Lua wiki.

If I can’t solve this, I am going to drop Lua.

Can I suggest you pick up the Teddy which you threw in the corner there :)
