Re: [luabind] Pass int64

[Tom M. <tom...@gm...>]

If the constructor is not explicit (not marked as so below), why not try
and change your luabind::constructor<>()  to take an int, and let the
compiler do its 1 allowed conversion step.  At runtime luabind doesn't
have the smarts to map a number to __int64 in looking up the constructor
would be my guess as to why you have the problem.

luabind::class_<RawData, boost::shared_ptr<RawData> >("RawData" )
    .def( luabind::constructor<int>() ); //...

That or derive and add a new signature for int.
