RE: What is the replacement code in Lua 5.1 for lua_boxpointer?

["Vijay Aswadhati" <wyseman@...>]

Ok. I found it in Lua 5.0 as:

<C code>
#define lua_boxpointer(L,u) \
        (*(void **)(lua_newuserdata(L, sizeof(void *))) = (u))

#define lua_unboxpointer(L,i)   (*(void **)(lua_touserdata(L, i)))
</C code>

Is there a reason why these macros are missing in 5.1(work6) ?
