Re: Lua 5 and lua2c

["Leandro Candido" <enclle@...>]

Hello Florian,

    The answer, in my opinion, is not so if the functions have simple and
little code, and yes, always gain speed, if functions with big/normal code.
I'm researching on this subject, I'm trying to create a "lua2c" translator,
to translate lua code either to lua C API calls (lua_pushnumber, etc...) and
to mimics the behavior of lvm, but the code isn't useful yet, as I said, I'm
researching yet, learning the opcodes, etc...

    Of course, native code always beat interpreted code/bytecode.

                                                                God bless
you,


Leandro.
