userdata =========== reference to a userdata ----------------------- .. code-block:: cpp :caption: (light\_)userdata reference class userdata : public reference; class light_userdata : public reference; These type is meant to hold a reference to a (light) userdata from Lua and make it easy to push an existing userdata onto the stack. It is essentially identical to :doc:`reference` in every way, just with a definitive C++ type.
