lua_newuserdata() question

["Mike Roberts" <miker@...>]

does lua_newuserdata() still not create any references to the allocated
memory? for example, if the userdata remains on the stack, but does not get
assigned to a table does it get collected before it gets removed from the
stack?

also, how does gc work for userdata created with this function. is a gc
event generated for each reference collected, or when all references to the
allocated memory are no longer in the state or on the stack?
