Re: Detect C or Lua function?

I have a C++ component system which I've tied into Lua. A component 
may have a "scriptable" implementation, which just dispatches all of 
it's calls off to Lua. In Lua, the component is represented as a 
table with it's "index" tag set to it's "base class", which contains 
C functions and maybe some Lua functions. The user can add script 
functions to the table to override the C functions. If I have a C++ 
function call 'doSomething()', the scriptable implementation will 
try load the component's table and try to call it's "doSomething" 
function. If there is no Lua implementation of that function, the 
inheritance will return the C function, and if I call that I end up 
in an endless recursion.

Thanks for your help. That's my third question now where I should 
have just RTFM. I won't do it again.
