Pre-registered = put them in the registry.
Instead of:
lua_pushliteral( L, "myString" );
Use something like the following (probably wrapped in subroutines):
static int sRegIndex = LUA_NOREF;
if( sRegIndex == LUA_NOREF ) {
lua_pushliteral( L, "myString" );
lua_pushvalue( L, -1 ); // dup
sRegIndex = lua_ref( L, 1 );
} else {
lua_getref( L, sRegIndex );
}
This way we only process "myString" once to convert it into a Lua
string.

If
you pre-registered the strings -- or registered them on your first
pass --
you could avoid that issue.
Preregistered? I havent come across preregistering strings. Can you
tell me about it (or send me to a page about it)?
thx,
