Re: Saving a Lua table in C/C++?

[pixellent@...]

Thanks Wim.




I'm not exporting a C function; I'm using tolua to wrap the Schedule function in 
my TimerManager class. I guess that means I can't use lua_ref() to pop from the 
stack. Does this mean there's no specific type that can be used to tell tolua to 
pass a table as a parameter?




Thanks again


Mike
