Re: lua states

["Terry Bayne" <tbayne@...>]

You might consider what I have done with multi-threaded programs in the past:


All threads communicate via Queues.  Each thread monitors it's own queue.  ALL inter-thread communication takes place by placing messages in the various Queues.  Have a single thread that executes your LUA code, Feed it with it's own Queue.  


One thing I have done recently was to use the Muscle Message data type as the Message type for Queues.  See: http://www.lcscanada.com/muscle/


Hope this helps.

Hi.I'm using lua embended in a game engine.i have the

folowing problem: i've crated a c++ object where i have an

array of lua_State * variables(one for history, one for simple

interpretor, one for renderer,..and so on).i use lua to give

orders to other objects stored in dlls.what i want to do is to

switch between states, so the command from the console goes to

the current state.so i've made another member of the c++

object like this: lua_State * currentstate; and i've

initialized it with NULL;so when i want to change the states i

assign to this memeber a lua state from the array and the

commands are executed only in the current state.well the

problem is it isn't working only if i declare all the threads

whom i want to assign another thread as a static memeber.and

this is not very good for my program design.if i don't do this

thing when i'm executing the program i get some adress

0x00..bla00bla cannot be "read".so i cannot go on.please tell

me why does this happens and how can i avoid the static

members.


thanks
