does asOBJ_APP_FLOAT work?
Author
it's not in any of the tests, and the only documentation says it's for float or double types.
I tried registering a type as such:
engine->RegisterObjectType("Real", sizeof(math::Real), asOBJ_VALUE | asOBJ_APP_FLOAT)
and it returns -5 (asINVALID_ARG)
(Real is #defined as either double or float depending on how it's compiled)
If I change the type to asOBJ_VALUE | asOBJ_POD it compiles, but obviously the Real type doesn't work as it should
Thanks again!

It appears that there is a bug in RegisterObjectType() that prevents the type from being registered.
// as_scriptengine.cpp : line 1180else if( flags & asOBJ_APP_FLOAT ){ // Must not set the class flags nor the primitive flag if( flags & (asOBJ_APP_CLASS | asOBJ_APP_CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR | asOBJ_APP_CLASS_DESTRUCTOR | asOBJ_APP_CLASS_ASSIGNMENT | asOBJ_APP_FLOAT) ) // <-- remove this! return ConfigError(asINVALID_ARG);}

Excellent, thanks so much. As per the comment I changed it to asOBJ_APP_PRIMITIVE, probably just a copy & paste error by the original author.

Upon further inspection I don't know if it actually works correctly.
Functions taking double or float don't work with Real types, so I think it's more than just the registration that doesn't work.

I've never used it myself but IIRC it's treated the same as any other object except when used as a return type. With that in mind you probably need to register some behaviors (cast, assignment, construction, etc.) for special cases.
The asOBJ_APP_xxx flags only tells AngelScript what the real object is for C++, it doesn't affect how AngelScript will treat the object type. These flags are necessary when AngelScript needs to pass a value of the type to a registered function by value (or return by value). They are not used anywhere else.
If you want the "Real" type to work like a float or double you need to register the proper behaviours as Digital_Asphyxia pointed out.
However, you can also wait until I've incorporated the typedef feature that Digital_Asphyxia implemented, which would then let you do what you really want.
Another option is to use a preprocessor pass before adding scripts to AngelScript to substitute all "Real" keywords for "float" or "double". For this you may be interested in looking into Deyja's preprocessor: http://www.omnisu.com/preprocessor.html (Hmm, doesn't seem like the link works any more. Deyja: Are you reading this?)
