Re: Using LUA to glue C functions across DLLs?

[Asko Kauppi <asko.kauppi@...>]

Sorry for being so dumb :) but what do you mean?

I've got 'dynacall' support in luax, allowing dll's to be attached to 
Lua "on the fly".

Okay.. you mean that would allow you to have multiple return types etc. 
fancy goodies with C functions as well. Yeah, why wouldn't that work. 
In fact, i'd rather like C to have such! :)
