Re: Survey of lua sandboxes?

[Ezequiel García <elezegarcia@...>]

Hi,

Answering two questions:

1.
You can checkout ginga-ncl (a dtv middleware) here:

http://gingacdn.lavid.ufpb.br/projects/ginga-j/repository/revisions/10b6f31673145133b6e7bfbbf4e993259808ce7b/show/ncl/gingacc-cpp/gingacc-player/src/application/imperative/lua

it's not the most elegant sandbox implementation ever, but it is a good 
example of a sandbox. Here the dtv applications can be implemented using lua and therefore the platform must protect itself from unwanted access.

But you can always code the heavy numerical processing in a C module. 

Hope it helps,
Ezequiel.
