Assembler in Lua?

[beo wulf <beowulf@...>]

Note: I don't want LuaJit

I'm on x86_64 , ubuntu linux.

I want to be able to, in lua, write assembly code,
which the library then assembles, registers with the lua vm,
which I can then call into.

Are there any libraries that make this possible?

Note: I don't want LuaJit. I want to generate the assembly instructions myself.

The goal here -- if I can do this, then I don't need to write most of
my code in C++ and then do all this bridging -- I can even write the
compute intensive parts in lua.

Thanks!
