41. Re: Currency representation in Lua (score: 44)

Author: Rob Kendrick <rjek@...>

Another thing that is important to remember: Not all currencies are decimal, and actually most currencies are /centimal/. There exist currencies where the subdivision is not 100: 10 and 1000 exist. T

I vaguely recall, though, someone on this list doing fixed point in Lua to make it work with BREW. It would be interesting to combine the two patches. You'd still only have one choice of fixed-point

What you're basically talking about is plua (see the Wiki) for Win32. It's a good idea, assuming full serialization like that fits your needs. Note that if you have any exported functions that may ch

Yep and that's what we did for now on BREW as well... We should be able to use floats shortly though FP exceptions will still be messy <snip> Yes, I have been looking at luaconf.h now, as well as sea

Yes, 64 bit pointers are larger than everything needed in Lua apps. In fact 64-bit OSes allow 64-bit pointer for memory addressing only in a more limited user space (in virtual memory) and keeps some

I never said anything about using NaN tagging for integers. I was analogizing using the high bit to tag an integer versus other kinds of values to using NaN to tag a float versus other kinds of value

Using NAN tagging for integers is stupid: this means seeting the exponent part to the value used by NAN, then use the sign bit and mantissa field to store the integer value (except for 0 which uses t

My first recommendation given your use case is to consider using LuaJIT if it's available for your platform. You can then use your struct definitions directly from Lua code (point.x and point.y work
