multiple lua files with same-named functions

["Raymond Jacobs" <raymondj@...>]

Greetings All,

 

I am having a bit of an issue with the system I've made.

 

I have a single lua_State with a number of registered C functions in it.

 

whenever I want to execute another script file, I make a new co-routine (from C),

I load the lua code into this new co-routine, and then call a function on it.

 

the issue is that all of these different script files have functions of the same name,

and it seems that if i have previously loaded a script with the function 'onCreate' in it,

and I load a new script which doesn't have an onCreate function (yet it tries to call it) it will find

the previously loaded onCreate function, I would rather that it say onCreate doesn't exist (since it is not in the script I've loaded),

but it seems whatever code i load all of the functions get stored into the global state, is this right?

 

and if so how can I solve it? a brute force idea is to clear all the functions from the global state before loading a new script

but that sounds awful =/

 

any info is appreciated, thanks!
