Re: std::string vs other strings

Thank you for the pointer. It ended up being incredibly simple. Here's
my code for CString:

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

        CString from(lua_State* L, int index)
        {
            return CString(lua_tostring(L, index), lua_rawlen(L, index));
        }

        void to(lua_State* L, CString const& value)
        {
            lua_pushlstring(L, (LPCTSTR)value, value.GetLength());
        }
    };

    template <>
    struct default_converter<CString const>
      : default_converter<CString>
    {};

    template <>
    struct default_converter<CString const&>
      : default_converter<CString>
    {};
}


The only possible problem that I can see here is needing to convert from
wchar_t to char (utf-8) when making a unicode build.
