Re: [Quantlib-dev] Trying to extend functions into Lua

[Luigi B. <lui...@gm...>]

Hi Tawanda,
    sorry it took so long.  The default typemaps provided by SWIG let
native objects for a few languages (such as PyObject* for Python) pass
through unmodified.  I don't think the support is there for Lua,
though.  You should extend the typemaps to do this, but I think you'd
have more luck asking on the SWIG mailing list; I guess they would be
interested in adding your patches to their repository.

Later,
    Luigi
