281. Lua's great (and LuaJIT's broken) (score: 13)

Dear Mike, Thanks for your quick reply. Well, 80% of the user base of LuaJIT is using Windows and so far nobody ever reported a problem compiling it. I haven't had problems compiling it either! But t

Thank you for comments and discussions even my post is not well written. Please let me describe more. Once I thought the same way as your comment. For tables, an integer handle is not always necessar

I'm not sure I understand your point. In my mind, if I have two functions returning 2 values, then I have 4 values plain and simple. It would be treated exactly the same as print(1,2,3,4). Is there

I'd like to give a bit feedback from another point of view: In our little hobbyist VR/game engine we use a mix of Luabind with additional manual bindings when Luabind doesn't cut it or we need to ext

You probably meant this the other way round? I very much doubt it. Those are expensive loops. I doubt that million byte strings are the norm. And I doubt that you'll _ever_ be in the situation that m

Hi, The point is not about keeping these particular strings alive. They are usually alive. But this can only be detected by computing the hash (the expensive part of luaS_newlstr). One solution is to

Hi, Besides, the fact that this __index field is left behind is an unwanted artifact. I trully believe it should be removed even if you don't plan to use "mymodule.error" or the like. After all, the

1. Has Lua been fixed to call the gc metamethod for tables as well as for userdatas? 2. If the answer is no and there is no plan to, then where does one send feature requests/explanations (other than

Lua itself (at least 5.0) allows the number type to be easily defined as either double or long. For an embedded program, I would definately change the native Lua type to integers. Makes the engine sm

Yeah, I was complaining about this as well. Then someone said that __get and __set have been removed as a speed improvement. Curiously enough, IMHO, one could actually do more with tags in Lua4 and i

What about the size of all this? One reason why I am looking into Lua is that it fits comfortably into a 16-bit SMALL memory model (64 KB code + 64 KB data). I hope (core) Lua will not outgrow this m
