Re: getting address of userdata

That's essentially what I did with __tostring, but I had to restore it back to its old value later.  Kinda hackish, but I guess it works.

Cool, thanks!

Not sure whom you are asking, so just in case: I have no idea. Until 5 minutes
ago I didn't know about luabind ;) (and I wouldn't touch C++ with a ten-foot
pole). Good luck though.

PS. As a quick hack you could consider debug.getmetatable(foo).__eq = nil, which
should get you back to the default behavior.
