Re: LuaBinaries - why so many Win32 versions?

Do you have any (MS) reference material stating that it is wrong?

So regarding FILE handles and memory and similar things, a Lua
extension will allocate whatever, wrap it in userdata, and attach a
__gc method to free it. No other extension or even the hosting lua
application is going to free the whatever by a route other than
calling the __gc, which goes back to the CRT which allocated the
whatever in the first place.
