Re: compiling LUA for uClinux

[Asko Kauppi <asko.kauppi@...>]

You might be interested in an int32 patch I did for Lua 5.1 lately.  It 
is totally transparent to applications, but stores integers as such 
internally.  Thus, it sort-of brings the best of both worlds, you can 
have floats, but you don't need to compromise on integer range, or 
performance, if you do.

As well known, using only floats will reduce integer accuracy to 23 
bits (float mantissa).  After that, the numbers will start losing their 
lowest bits.
