Lua C Return problem

["Rodrigo Araújo" <alf.rodrigo@...>]

Hi there,

Here at work I need to write a lua function (A) that returns another lua function (B) which returns itself unless it gets nil arguments. It's like:

function A(teste)
    function B(m,n)
        if(m and n) then
            return B
        else
            return
        end 
    end
    return A
end

I know how to do it using Lua, but in face of some decisions in here, it must be written inside a class of C++. This way, I've been using the library lunar.h which I found on this post 
http://lua-users.org/wiki/CppBindingWithLunar at the lua-users wiki.

This said, my approach was to first write function B inside the class and then function A, both returning function B, which came out this way:

int B(lua_State *L){
    int m,n;
    if(strcmp(luaL_typename(L,1),"number") == 0){
        m = (int)luaL_checknumber(L,1);
        n = (int)luaL_checknumber(L,2);
    }
    else{
        lua_pushcfunction(L,drawer);
        return 1;
    }
}
int A(lua_State *L){
    char* teste;
    teste = (char*)lua_tostring(L,1);
    lua_pushcfunction(L,drawer);
    return 1;
}


This code inside the class gives the following error:

In member function 'int Classe::B(lua_State*)':
317: error: argument of type 'int (Classe::)(lua_State*)' does not match 'int (*)(lua_State*)'
In member function 'int Classe::A(lua_State*)':
327: error: argument of type 'int (Classe::)(lua_State*)' does not match 'int (*)(lua_State*)'

Lines 317 and 327 are the lines in which I call lua_pushcfunction. So, how should I do it? Is it possible to do this?


Thanks in advance,
