Re: Does lua internally parse all number into string?

[zaker <zgmfzaku@...>]

It's a little hard to explain. I use lua table to describe a C struct. I write a parser to parse the table into C struct. 

And I write a tool that use to do this:

       Covert lua table to C struct   ->     C struct to packet   ->   send to server   - >   get respone packet  ->   packet to C struct

->   get some field of the respone C struct to fill in (or do something) a new lua table ->  Covert lua table to C struct -> ....

Then functions like "GetValue" is to do the sixth step

Maybe it's still not clear.
