Re: SLB vs LuaBind

[beo wulf <beowulf@...>]

Hi Jose,

  I've been reading through the SLB code at:
hg clone https://slb.googlecode.com/hg/ slb

  and I can't figure out how to do the following:

I see that you have getInt and setInt functions registered -- however,
is it possible to register a variable, like a def_readwrite in
Luabind?

Thanks!
