Re: Deriving inherited classes with Luabind

Seems I misworded my question.  The issue isn't doing the derivation - at
least, it may not be.  Turns out I'm not even far enough to know, because I
can't call the function I overrode in Lua from C++.  I followed the example
from the documentation, and my Lua looks like:

globalone = base()

function globalone:f()
  print("here!")
end

set(newone)

set() just takes a pointer to a base, and sets a global variable in c++ to
it.  I then call this in c++:

globalBase->f();

but I get the output from the C++ version of the function.  My bindings are:

    luabind::module(myLuaState)
    [
        luabind::class_<base, base_wrapper>("base")
            .def(luabind::constructor<>())
            .def("f", &base::f, &base_wrapper::default_f),
        luabind::def("set", &set)
    ];

And the class declarations are:

class base
{
public:
    base() { std::cout << "Making a base in C++" << std::endl; }
    virtual void f() { std::cout << "C++ Version" << std::endl; }
};

base* globalBase;

struct base_wrapper : base, luabind::wrap_base
{
    base_wrapper() : base() { std::cout << "Making a base_wrapper in C++" <<
std::endl; }

    virtual void f() { call<void>("f"); }

    static void default_f(base* ptr) { return ptr->base::f(); }
};

void set(base* ptr)
{
    std::cout << "setting" << std::endl;
    globalBase = ptr;
}
