I'm trying to work with the lua D port at
http://svn.dsource.org/projects/bindings/trunk/lua/

And I ran into an interesting error:

"cannot implicitly convert expression (#luaopen_base) of type 
int(C *)(lua_State * L) to int(C *)(lua_State* L)"

When compiling this code:

-----------------------------------------------
import lua.lua;
import lua.lualib;
import lua.lauxlib;

int main(char[][] args)
{
lauL_reg lr;
lr.name = "base";
lr.func = &luaopen_base;
return 0;
}
-----------------------------------------------

Anybody have any idea what's going on here?

Can you post the definition of "lauL_reg" and "luaopen_base". I've seen an  
error like this when the "extern" type was different, perhaps that is the  
case here?

extern (C) {

struct luaL_reg {
   const char *name;
   lua_CFunction func;
};

int luaopen_base (lua_State *L);

}

Both are extern(C). I'll play around and see if I can re-create that 
error in a little bit.

And what about "lua_CFunction" :)

Ok.

The problem seemed to be that lua_CFunction was defined as

alias int (*lua_CFunction) (lua_State *L);

The fix is to use stronger typing like

typedef int (*lua_CFunction) (lua_State *L);

I just commited new changes to the trunk which fix this problem. Update 
to that version and tell me if you are having any more problems. Thanks.

I also got this fixed by a different route. All the functions in lua.d are
declared like:

extern int lua_gettop (lua_State *L);

whereas luaopen_base is declared like so:

/*LUA_API*/ int luaopen_base (lua_State * L);

so I replaced all the /*LUA_API*/ entries with 'extern' and all was good in the
world.

Sigh ... gotta' love that :-)

I know. You'd think that the compiler would be smart enough to realize that a
function declared (and 
not defined) inside an extern (C) block would be 'extern'.

Also, IMO, extern is a storage-class identifier, isn't it? It shouldn't affect
type resolution. Especially 
when it produces messages like: "Could not implicitly cast from type T to T"
where both types are 
reportedly identical.

Just a thought
