Re: Linking LuaSocket statically

[Martin Velek <martin.velek@...>]

Hi,

there is one drawback for microcontrollers with a small ROM memory
footprint. The scripts are converted into C file and placed in ROM
during compilation. If the device has an external storage like SD/MMC
card, the advantage of loading and executing scripts is lost(I mean
the scripts converted by the tool from loop).

Anyway, better than nothing.

Martin

P.S.
Thanks Diego for LS(and to people in section Special thanks)
