[luabind] Luabind memory leak

[Luis V. <lui...@mi...>]

I was tracking down a memory look for my Masters project and ran into
the following situation:

=20

Luabind uses a class function_rep for encapsulating data for specific
functions.

=20

Function_rep looks something like:

=20

Class function_rep

{

// blablabla

std::vector<blablabla> m_overrides;

}

=20

=20

Instances of this class are managed by lua by using luauserdata.  So at
some point in the code:

=20

Luauserdatanew(function_rep_instance, sizeof(function_rep_instance));

=20

I think the promise is that Lua will clean up the memory when is closed,
the problem is that lua performs a free on the memory, but since Lua
knows nothing about the type of object the cleanup is not accurate, and
the data help by m_overrides is never freed.

=20

Is Luabind still being actively developed?

If so, is this the right place to report bugs?

Thank you,
