That's the rub. I pity the poor bastards who have to bind to C++.
I, er, 'solved' the problem by going through C when calling C++ from
Lua, passing back an object identifier previously received from C++.
It could be slower (it wasn't in my simple case), but I prefer not to
keep C++ pointers on the Lua side unless I have no choice; I also try to
decouple the two sides from each other as much as possible.
I consider decoupling a very important factor in code robustness and I
think (generally speaking) that making C++ class members directly
accessible from Lua would be looking for trouble.
So I made C++ (actually, the C dispatcher) ony accessible from Lua
through a dedicated API, and did the same on the Lua side.
