Re: Basic Question about Virtual Machine in Lua

["Journeyer J. Joh" <oosaprogrammer@...>]

And I'd like to compare Lua VM with JVM or .net or Dalvic.

I believe Lua VM doesn't work at run-time at all.

This gives the impression that Lua VM look very much similar to LLVM.

And, this would distinguish Lua VM from JVM, .net or Dalvic.

Do I think correctly?

Thank you very much also.

Ha ve a good day,

Journeyer

Hi,

I suddenly faced a basic question about virtual machine in lua.

Frankly speaking I didn't search about this question on internet.

I am asking this question directly on this maillist.

I wonder if the virtual machine in Lua is pretty much same with the one in LLVM.

I noticed sqlite3 uses VM also.

I know there are several different type of VM.

Frankly, I don't know very well about LLVM neigher.

I think VM of LLVM provides a isolated environment from any machine so that compile-time optimization is done with better result.

I guess lua VM is used for the same purpose. VM in lua provides a virtual machine in which compile-time optimization is done better.

Thank you for the kind answer in advance.

Have a good day.
