Re: Serializing Lua State in use with Luabind

[Stefan Schwarzbach <Schwarzbach@...>]

I don't know how to identify the metatable to list it in the permanent 
table.

Here's the call stack from the beginning of the serialization to the 
C-function problem:

persistfunction(PersistInfo_t * pi=0x0006f8f0)
persist(PersistInfo_t * pi=0x0006f8f0)
persisttable(PersistInfo_t * pi=0x0006f8f0)
persist(PersistInfo_t * pi=0x0006f8f0)
persistuserdata(PersistInfo_t * pi=0x0006f8f0)
persist(PersistInfo_t * pi=0x0006f8f0)
// Main persist table
persisttable(PersistInfo_t * pi=0x0006f8f0)
persist(PersistInfo_t * pi=0x0006f8f0)
// Start call
pluto_persist(lua_State * L=0x0e674b20, int (lua_State *, const void *, 
unsigned int, void *)* writer=0x0060b615, void * ud=0x1027c8f8)

What do I have to do to identify the metatable? I don't get a name from 
the that metatable, only from the class table itself and from the 
function name.

Greetings,
Stefan
