RE: Precompiled multiplatform code (ARMxPC)

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

Thank you very much.

What if I make changes in Lua to do automatic big/little-endian conversions,
some type redefinitions (size_t=>ulong) and disable double operation. Would
it be possible?
The automatic conversion may slowdown my app, but would bring an invaluable
feature.

I'm looking for a way to run a lightweight customizable interpreter in
several terminals. The compiled script interchangeability would be a very
good thing.
Does Lua fit to my needs?
Some advice?

Thank you again,

Saulo Tauil

I haven't done this, but what i would try is to use qemu.  it can emulate a
full ARM system, where you can install the very same Lua executable as in
your POS, but with much more memory and better connected to your desktop, so
filetransfer would be easy.  then just compile (and test!) the Lua code
there.  the bytecode files should be directly usable by your deployed
environment.
