tolua 3.0b issue[3]

[DASWorks1@...]

Hi Waldemar:

>I was assuming you had included a funtion like:
>file_into * create_file_info(...);

Yes, you are correct, I was not sure that we were talking about the same
thing.  I now understand the issues discussed.  Thank you very much for your
time and assistance.

// BUG REPORT:
It appears that I may have found a bug or problem with regard to arrays in
function parameters.  For example:

short getfileinfo(file_info *zfile,unsigned char type[5],unsigned char
creator[5]);

In tolua, the unsigned char array is assumed to be numeric, which obviously
causes problems with char arrays.  (The below tolua generated binding function
has the corrections.)  I think tolua needs to consider the array type in this
situation.


// COMMENT:
More importantly, is the following the only way for tolua to recognize
multiple return values?  What I want to do is this:

err,type,creator = getfileinfo(fi)
print(type)
print(creator)

instead I have to do this:

type={}
creator={}
err = getfileinfo(fi,type,creator)
print(type[1])
print(creator[1])

I don't need to to pass type and creator information into my C code.  It only
needs to be sent out.  Is there a way to set the .pkg file or "tell" tolua
that this is what is required.  It may not be possible...

Thanks again for your help.  I haven't test everything about tolua yet, but
things are progressing.

Warm Regards,

David

Here are some casting problems also (they may be compiler related however):

/* get function: myFileName of class  file_info */
static void toluaI_get_file_info_myFileName(void)
{
  // original:
  //const unsigned file_info* self = (const unsigned file_info*)
tolua_getusertype(1,0);
  // changed to:
  file_info* self = (file_info*)  tolua_getusertype(1,0);
  if (!self) tolua_error("invalid 'self' in accessing variable 'myFileName'");
  // original:
  //tolua_pushstring(self->myFileName);
  // changed to:
  tolua_pushstring((const char*)self->myFileName);
}

/* get function: myFilePath of class  file_info */
static void toluaI_get_file_info_myFilePath(void)
{
   // original:
  //const unsigned file_info* self = (const unsigned file_info*)
tolua_getusertype(1,0);
// changed to:
  file_info* self = (file_info*)  tolua_getusertype(1,0);
  if (!self) tolua_error("invalid 'self' in accessing variable 'myFilePath'");
  //tolua_pushstring(self->myFilePath);
// changed to:
  tolua_pushstring((const char*)self->myFilePath);
}
