How CAN tolua work with overloaded functions?
We use the exact same method of binding the functions manually and we DO have to analyse the parameter types ourselves.
For example I see there are two cEntity::AddPosition overloads exported to tolua. They are registered like this:
No extra information has been given about the signature of the function so it cannot be handled by "tolua_function" itself. However two different function pointers are now bound to the same function name.
I do not know for sure, but I suspect the last statement just overwrites the first one, or the last one is ignored because the function is already registered.
tolua_AllToLua_cEntity_AddPosition00/01 are already specialized for their overloaded counterparts so there is no actual overloading done in there, they can only call one C++ function.
Either we're doing something wrong, or tolua does not really support overloading functions
