Re: Question about structs and tolua 5

[Ignacio Burgueño <ignacio@...>]

Yes. That, and the union thing you mention would be nice things to have in
tolua. Some time ago there was a poll about which features tolua users would
like to have. I hope this features will be included in future tolua
releases. And, if I may add one, I'd like tolua to have some sort of token
in the pkg file so you can have fields in a structure or class defined, but
allowing the get / set methods to be implemented by the user.
I mean, in cases such as:

typedef struct {
    char                RTPAddress[MAX_ADDRESS_LEN];
    ...
}

the get / set functions generated won't compile, so it would be nice to have
the RTPAddress field added to the tolua type, but letting the user write its
own get / set methods.
