Re: passing a reference to a primitive?

I'm using luabind 0.9.1 from
http://www.rasterbar.com/products/luabind.html.

I've been playing with boost-python for most of today and it's similar,
but soooo much bigger. It would also require me to write a lot more
adapter code.

I'm hoping a fork-maintainer shows up with good news. If Rasterbar isn't
interested in the project any more, it would be fantastic for one of the
forks to be named the official successor.

Anyways, thanks for testing this out on Fedora. For some reason I just
assumed it would work with gcc.
