	adding new primitive types to luabind by Ilya Martynov :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hello, I've just started using luabind for my project and run into the following issue. C++ API I'm trying to expose to lua uses 64 bit integer type which luabind cannot use unless I specially register this type as a class. But if I register it as a class I have to convert lua numbers to this class explicitly in my lua code. Ideally I want to be able to add somehow it as a native type so that luabind would be able to resolve calls like "c_func_with_64bit_int_parameter(1234)" automatically without explicit conversion. Basically I want to be able to use this type in the same way as other numeric types which are supported by luabind natively (i.e. int and double). Is it possible at all? -- Ilya Martynov, ilya@...

Please see test/test_user_defined_converter.cpp or the "Adding converters for user defined types" section in the documentation. It boils down to specializing luabind::default_converter<> for your type. -- Daniel Wallin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

I initially was looking into documentation on http://www.rasterbar.com/products/luabind/docs.html but it seems to be outdated and doesn't have this section. -- Ilya Martynov, ilya@...
