Re: Lua - C++ Bindings

[Anders Backman <andersb@...>]

I went on, still trying to pursue the automatic binding.

I really like the lqt way of doing things.

Now when it has namespaces!! and correct syntax I like it even more.

For me now, it boils down to creating .h files for which lqt can crunch, it will then generate virtual method binding automatically, which tolua++ doesnt...

It also handles include/dependencies between various class declarations...

But your comment about tolua++ and nested classes is valid for lqt too...

It seems that lqt stumbles onto this too.

Nested classes is not working.

Can this be fixed?

A critical point for us was the ability to have nested classes:

class A
{
 public:
 class B
 {
   public:
     void do_something();
 };

 void useB(B* b);
};

tolua++ does that just fine for us. I know that swig can't do it, but
can others like LuaBind do this?
