After looking more into my desire for asynchronous network
communications, it appears as though a better solution might be to figure out a
way to allow the users to spawn threads and use lua sockets directly. Looking that the documentation for lua threading, I'm a
little confused at the interaction between spawning a C thread and lua_newthread.
Would doing the following be sufficient? 1. Implement lua_lock, lua_unlock, lua_userstateopen and
lua_userstatethread to interact with OS synchronization objects - off the top
of my head maybe a map<lua_State,CRITICALSECTION>. 2. Implement a Thread.New( threadFunc ) function in C which
creates a new OS thread and in its thread function calls lua_pcall on threadFunc
using the same lua_State Do I need to use lua_newthread or would this be enough? John
