Swig C++ Lua Pass class by reference
- by Jeremy
I don't know why I'm having a hard time with this. All I want to do is this:
class foo {
public:
foo(){}
~foo(){}
float a,b;
};
class foo2 {
public:
foo2(){}
foo2(const foo &f){*this = f;}
~foo2(){}
void operator=(const foo& f){
x = f.a;
y = f.b;
}
float x,y;
};
/* Usage(cpp):
foo f;
foo2 f2(f);
//or using the = operator
f2 = f;
*/
The problem I'm having is that, after swigging this code, I can't figure out how to make the lua script play nice.
/* Usage(lua)
f = example.foo()
f2 = example.foo2(f) --error
*/
The error I get is "Wrong arguments for overloaded function 'new_Foo2'":
Possible c/c++ prototypes are:
foo2()
foo2(foo const &)
The same thing happens if I try and use do f2 = f. As I understand it everything is stored as a pointer so I did try adding an additional constructor that took a pointer to foo but to no avail.
