hi,
i am new to this mailing list. so hello ;)
i am working on some scripting functionality for my application. i
chose lua for various reason, one being its simplicity. now i ran
into an problem with lua, namely the function of the equality
operator. it is impossible to overload it for userdata types (i am
using luabind). i can't define the == operator for my classes to
work with for example int, float or string literals. this is
because lua only uses the == operator for objects of the same type.
i found the lua patch [1] on lua-users.org which solves this. is
planned to work such a patch into future lua?
i think it would be a very powerful addition which ohter scripting
languages (like python) support and would make lua even better.
