Hi,
I'm building a multi-threaded application and all threads carry their own stat.
Now, I have to create an object to share data among those stats, named SelFIFO : this object is NEVER subject to be collected, mutex are handled at C side and slaves only get a C pointer to userdata.
My concern is "how can I insert this pointer to slave stats ?".
So, in the main thread, this object is created like that :
struct SelFIFO *q = (struct SelFIFO *)lua_newuserdata(L, sizeof(struct SelFIFO));
assert(q);
luaL_getmetatable(L, "SelFIFO");
lua_setmetatable(L, -2);
...
but, in the slave thread, I got only 'q' pointer.
How can I push it in slave's stat ?
How can I associate a "SelFIFO" to it ?
Thanks
Laurent
