This is an old revision of the document!
Here are my notes I use when I have to work on this system.
Here is how a C++ class can call into it's lua instance. I think this is where I was confused by what you were asking. Sorry, I don't know why it wasn't apparent to me.
1) I have a LuaObject that has access to it's Rtti/metadata. I also have my own header parser that generates this code. So I have access to the actual class name such as “Forge::Light”. 2) Every class has a lua table that is created as bindings are being loaded, that represent that clas sin lua.
Here is a stripped down class that shows the basics of how the system calls a C++ function from lua.
1) Header files are marked up using comments to expose/export classes and functions.
2) Here is the generated cpp that gets added to the project.
