as_function =========== *make sure an object is pushed as a function* .. code-block:: cpp template , typename... Args> function_argumants as_function ( Args&& ... ); This function serves the purpose of ensuring that a callable struct (like a lambda) can be passed to the ``set( key, value )`` calls on :ref:`sol::table` and be treated like a function binding instead of a userdata. It is recommended that one uses the :ref:`sol::table::set_function` call instead, but if for some reason one must use ``set``, then ``as_function`` can help ensure a callable struct is handled like a lambda / callable, and not as just a userdata structure. This class can also make it so usertypes bind variable types as functions to for usertype bindings. .. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/docs/as_function.cpp :linenos: Note that if you actually want a userdata, but you want it to be callable, you simply need to create a :ref:`sol::table::new_usertype` and then bind the ``"__call"`` metamethod (or just use ``sol::meta_function::call`` :ref:`enumeration`). This may or may not be done automatically for you, depending on whether or not the call operator is overloaded and such. Here's an example of binding a variable as a function to a usertype: .. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/docs/as_function_usertype_member_variable.cpp :linenos:
