Re: [LuaJIT] Where can I ask help for LuaJIT ffi related problems?

[Attila <ejjeliorjarat@...>]

Dear Peter,

Thank you for your great help, I won't be able to do something like this - seems it's harder as I expected... I have x64 machine, so it won't work for me, but I really thank you your help - I will try to check out what it does, and do something with it. It's good to know that there are so helpful people here like you  ;)

Regards,

Attila

Callbacks are rather hard to do with the current LuaJIT. One approach
is to perform some call stack contortions so that invocations of the
callback turn into returns to Lua. On Windows, the fiber API can be
used to perform the contortions, which does the really hard part for
you.
My attempt at doing so is: http://pastebin.com/r9WxJ6iP
This currently only works for x86 Windows, as support for x64 would
require different machine code.
