RE: Precompiled multiplatform code (ARMxPC)

["Saulo Tauil" <saulot@...>]

Is there some way to make it "more" interchangeable?

Would it work?
-Using the same version of lua compiler.
-Limit to platforms with the same sizeof(int), sizeof(size_t),
sizeof(Instruction).
-Use always int32 as lua_number type (I would never use float in this case)
-Make lua "endianess-proof" like java. 

Maybe the endianess is the most serious issue. I already have to do
conversions to communicate between different terminals.

If it's not possible... Is there a cross-compilation method?
It would be impossible to compile everything inside the terminal. It has not
much memory and there isn't a way to read its files.

Thks,

Precompiled chunks are dependant upon several factors:
* Lua version
* Endianness
* sizeof(int)
* sizeof(size_t)
* sizeof(Instruction) (which is typically a typedef onto lu_int32)
* lua_Number type
