RE: Lua bytecodes and endian-ness

["Greg McCreath" <Greg.McCreath@...>]

Hi All,

I didn't realise that endianess was an issue with lua.  Actually, I
thought it to be quite the opposite - that it did not matter.  We're
anticipating multiple client types communicating with a host and that
host delivering scripting in real time to the clients.  

It sounds like we've got to have multiple compiled versions of code at
the host for each endian type then ... ?

We certainly want to pre-compile at the host, the clients are only low
resource units and we want to avoid client-side compilation.

Greg.

Yes. See http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2006-01/msg00024.html

> so, what's the best way to deal with this?
