CDATA as table keys

I'm writing server software for a game in luajit, and using lua objects to
represent items, entities and similar concepts in-game.
I'm using objects by identity, not value ({}~={}).
--an example
reg=reg or {} --item registry
reg[11]={
name='iron sword'
}
reg[12]={
name='gold coin'
}
player_obj[ reg[12] ] = 100 --give player 100 coins
player_obj.right_hand = reg[11] --put sword in player's right hand

I'd like to use c structs/unions as objects for memory savings, but this
segment suggests that's not viable for c values.
Am I safe to use structs or unions as objects? Do I need to worry about the
address changing spontaneously, or similar structs re-using an address?
Thanks in advance,
