Hi,
I need to know how to properly destroy my lua code when it's no longer needed in my game engine. 

If I have:

function f29d8()
   -- some code
end

foo = f29d8
fooTable = t29d8
t29d8.scriptFunction = f29d8
Is setting f29d8 = nil and t29d8 = nil good enough to cause foo and fooTable to be garbage collected if I call lua_setgcthreshold(L, 0)? 

No.



Or do I need to explicitly set each reference to nil too?


Yes.
