I have a basic singleton class that i want to bind to lua. class singleton { public static singleton* GetInstance() { if( !m_pInstance ) { m_pInstance = new singleton; } return m_pInstance; } void donothing() {} // Disabled private: singleton(); singleton(const singleton&) singleton& operator =(const singleton&); // Attributes private: static singleton* m_pInstance; }; singleton* singleton::m_pInsntace = 0; In luabind i would bind the class like this: module( lua ) [ class_< singleton >( "singleton" ) .def( "getinstance", &singleton::GetInstance ) .def( "donothing", &singleton::donothing ) ]; Here's the error I'm getting: C2660: 'luabind::detail::overload_rep::overload_rep' : function does not take 2 arguments The error goes away when I take the line with the "GetInstance" away.

not yet, there was an older post with the same problem. the issue wasn't resolved then either. i'm asking around including the luabind authors. so far nothing yet =\

found it! expose the class and all the non-static members first. then expose the static member function by itself:

module( lua )
[
class_< singleton >( "singleton" )
.def( "donothing", &singleton::donothing )
,def( "getinstance", &singleton::GetInstance ) // like this
];

woo!

Move the destructor. For singletons, I don't think destructors are supposed to be disabled.
