Re: Binding static methods with luabind?

Hi,

That should do it, note the scope around the definition of getInstance

    luabind::module(L)

    [

     luabind::class_<LuaRegisterManager>("LuaRegisterManager")
//Register the class

     .def("execScript",
(void(LuaRegisterManager::*)())&LuaRegisterManager::execScript)
//method to execute a lua script

     .scope
      [
          def("getInstance", &LuaRegisterManager::getInstance)
//returns static singleton instance
      ]

     ];

Invoke with LuaRegisterManager.getInstance() (i.e. dot instead of colon). A
bit of explanation can be found here:

Hope that helps
