[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index] 

Thanks Wim, I have (re)read the list messages and Wiki on this subject.
Having created my thread specific global table and __index metatabled it
to the mainthread global table, is the best way to handle the base functions
next(), pairs() etc to simply reexecute base_open() (lbaselib.c) on the new
thread object or is it better to "copy" the baselib functions from the main
lua state to the new lua thread?

Thanks

No.  Threads have their own globals, but share the registry.
