Thanks for the fast reply. Yes, I guess there is no way to do it now that I
think about.
And I guess it cannot save registered C functions as well...
If that's the case, how does lua_dump behaves with your registered C
function as well as the default lua libraries functions? Does it simply
ignore them (avoid adding them to the state) so you have to re-register them
(both your own C functions and lua base lib / tables lib etc, functions)?
And if that happens and you call lua_dump inside a lua c function (can that
be done?) how would it know where to resume if it doesn't save the c
function?

Thanks
