Re: return multiple return values

Hi Markus,

This is how I do multiple results... I'm not sure if this is in the docs
or where I picked this up from.  This is with version 0.9 of Luabind,
with its rather cool replacement for the "raw" policy.  Personally I
prefer the first function, as it is slightly more clear about the order
the values are returned.

#include <lua.hpp>
#include <luabind/luabind.hpp>
#include <iostream>

void multi_return( lua_State *L, int a, int b, int c )
{
    lua_pushnumber( L, a );
    lua_pushnumber( L, b );
    lua_pushnumber( L, c );

    return;
}

int another_way( lua_State *L, int a, int b, int c )
{
    lua_pushnumber( L, a );
    lua_pushnumber( L, b );
    return c;
}

int main()
{
    using namespace luabind;

    lua_State *L = lua_open();

    luaL_openlibs( L );

    open( L );

    module(L)
    [
        def( "func1", &multi_return ),
        def( "func2", &another_way )
    ];

    const char *code = 
        "print( func1( 3, 5, 7 ) ) "
        "print( func2( 3, 5, 7 ) ) ";

    if( luaL_dostring( L, code ) )
    {
        std::cout << "Oh no! " << lua_tostring( L, -1 ) << std::endl;
    }

    lua_close( L );

    return 0;
}

Easier than building table and then using that table in Lua for results!
