Two solutions:
- Just call your hook function less often. Set the hook count to
a high number (10000 or so). Your timeout is fatal, so it
doesn't have to be precise, right? Ensure that none of the C
functions delay execution unduly.
- Setup a POSIX timer or a Windows thread which waits on the
timeout. Then in the timeout handler set the lua hook with a
count of 1. This is safe, even from a signal handler or a
different thread. It's also the fastest solution because the
hook is not active during regular execution.
