Re: Identifiers of tables on Stack from C/C++

["Joerg Walter" <joerg-walter@...>]

Tables are objects in the LUA world. I'm looking for an identifier for the C world. If I wanted to write a table traverser in LUA I would put the table itself as a key into another table to remember that this table has been visited.
I'm looking for the c/c++ equivalent: Putting the table id into an std::set.

My ideas:

1. Using the registry mechanism. But I don't know how this behaves with references on tables. 

2. Simply using lua_topointer(): Same question
