Re: Binding wstring

> Does luabind support binding of wstring?

You can do it by overloading luabind::default_converter for that. Mine solution below. Non-listed 'Widen' and 'Narrow' functions, are here to handle wide-string conversion to 8-bit lua strings.

namespace luabind
{
        template <>
        struct default_converter< std::wstring >
                : native_converter_base< std::wstring >
        {
                static int compute_score( lua_State * s, int index )
                {
                        return lua_type( s, index ) == LUA_TSTRING ? 0 : -1;
                }

                std::wstring from( lua_State * s, int index )
                {
                        return StrUtils::Widen( lua_tostring( s, index ) );
                }

                void to( lua_State * s, const std::wstring & str )
                {
                        lua_pushstring( s, StrUtils::Narrow( str ).c_str( ) );
                }
        };
        /**/

        template <>
        struct default_converter< const std::wstring >
                : default_converter< std::wstring >
                { };

        template <>
        struct default_converter< const std::wstring & >
                : default_converter< std::wstring >
                { };
}
