Re: Detecting LuaJIT at compile time

[Antonio Vieiro <antonio@...>]

I just want to print out the version of Lua I'm using, something like this:

#ifdef _SOME_VAR_TO_DETECT_LUAJIT
  #include <luajit.h>
   fprintf(stderr, "Using LuaJIT version %s for Lua %s\n",
LUAJIT_VERSION, LUA_RELEASE);
#else
   fprintf(stderr, "Using Lua version %s\n", LUA_RELEASE);
#endif

Of course I could add a variable myself to specify if I'm compiling
with Lua or with LuaJIT, but I'd prefer not to add that extra variable
(because, as you say, there's total compatibility between Lua and
LuaJIT headers, so setting CFLAGS and LDFLAGS should be enough in my
Makefile).

Thanks,
Antonio
