Hi All, I am investigating using lua in an embedded
environment where application separation and security is very important. The
environment runs multiple logical applications within a single proprietary VM. Each logical application has a virtual file system
and cache etc etc. Applications will be able to create and run
script. Lua seems very good for providing scripting in this environment. Except
… I want a lot of common scripted functionality to be
available to all applications. But I do not want to have multiple lua
states each with a lot of code loaded. I want a single lua state with all common functions and
data loaded in a central location and then each application to be able to
operate on its **own** ‘virtual’ lua state without knowledge of
other applications. This really does have to be secure. I do not
want applications altering the global in any way unless it is using a function
that exists in the global state. As the application shuts down I also want to be able
to get of an applications data and application state. Can I achieve this? Greg
