Is it correct store pointer to userdata outside lua tables? GC may change it's location?
Yes, you can store a C pointer to your userdata and use it however you like.
The GC is mark-sweep, so it will never copy or move your data. Your
userdata will stay at the same memory location until it is destroyed.
The __gc event will let you know when it is destroyed.
