Re: Tool to allow embedded C in Lua

["Jerome Vuarand" <jerome.vuarand@...>]

That one is a similar but more recent project:

http://luatcc.luaforge.net/
http://luaforge.net/projects/luatcc/

It includes a C module loader (which loads Lua C modules from
sources), and it's the basis of a gem for the Lua Programming Gems
book.
