im sorry for all this, thanks for information...
Don't read too much into the postings, they are just light-hearted banter... :-)
"Lua 5.1 support is planned." i got it ...
That is probably too optimistic. ATM I am too busy playing with PIC microcontrollers to get it done...
I would, though, object to ChunkBake being pushed as some kind of serious app. It is a proof of concept of doing a reasonably sane Lua VM assembler with reasonably sane instruction syntax. But since it has to be revised for each major release of Lua, it should only be for study or as a curio.
If you have the energy, then I would suggest you channel it to projects that have a bigger potential in terms of usefulness. Bearing in mind that you were looking for something like an x86 JIT assembler, I think you should take a close look at LuaJIT.
Happy hacking :-)

ChunkBake is an assembler for Lua chunks, and thus expects opcodes that reflect the Lua virtual machine. I'd never heard of ChunkBake until just a moment ago, and I got that from reading the very first line of its website: "ChunkBake is a line-oriented assembler for Lua 5 virtual machine instructions."From the looks of the last post following this, it appears to me that Francisco is too sexy for documentation. Eh. :-) Good luck, Francisco.
