I have the follwing C function. How should I wrap it so it can be called from a Lua script? typedef struct tagT{ int a ; int b ; } type_t; int lib_a_f_4(type_t *t) { return t->a * t->b ; } I know how to wrapr it if the function parameter type were `int` or `char *`. Should I use `table` type for a C structure? EDIT: I am using SWIG for the wraping , according to this [doc][1], It seems that I should automatically have this function `new_type_t(2,3)` , but it is not the case. > If you wrap a C structure, it is also > mapped to a Lua userdata.
