Do you need to know when the exitFlag is 1? From the docs it looks
like in C++ you'd take an integer, set it to 0, call the timer(msec,
&exitFlag, NULL) and could then check exitFlag periodically to see if
the timer is done. A really lame hack could use a wxPoint (or better
yet your own minimal C++ class that has only an int member).
Alternatively if you will only make one timer call at a time you can
use "static int exitFlag" in the function and completely hide the
exitFlag from lua completely.
Lua code:
-- not local since it MUST exist for the life of the timer call
exitFlag = wx.wxPoint(0,0)
timer(1000, exitFlag)

// int* exitFlag = NULL; (could make this a static var if only
one timer call at a time)
wxPoint *exitFlag = (wxPoint *)wxlState.GetUserDataType(2,
s_wxluatag_wxPoint);
unsigned int mSec = (unsigned int)wxlState.GetNumberType(1);

// let the lua garbage collector delete this when out of scope
wxLua_AddTrackedObject(wxlState, (timer*)returns);

I think the above should work. The easiest way to get the code above
is to change your timer function in the *.i file to
"timer(unsigned int msec, int exitflag)"
and then run the generator. You now have code that is close to what you want.
Note how we removed int* exitflag so that the generator works (it
actually might even work with the *exitFlag, but I don't think it
would compile since it'd be taking the address of a temporary since
lua uses only double and the generator would cast the returned double
from lua to a int. This is why I've used the wxPoint's int x member
var.
Hope this helps,
