We use Asko's lnum patch to Lua with an older, slightly modified luabind. Asko's patch allows lua to store ints and floats. We mainly use it to reduce the size of lua values while maintaining integer range and float support. The only modification we made to Luabind for this was to make it use lua_pushinteger in some of its primitive converters. If you are just changing lua_Number (and not using lnum) then you should be fine with an unmodified luabind. Kristoffer Danielsson wrote: > If I recall correctly, Lua uses floats to store numbers.
