Re: tolua bug?

["Vbr. Andre Kloss" <kloss@...>]

Hi there.

I have already implemented a small patch for this. 

Look at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.lua.general/7180
(or any other archive mirror of this list ;)

This should hopefully solve your problem. If not, you may want to put
the two structs in different modules. Since the module name is usually
inserted into the C function name, that should fix your problem.

Good luck.
