I’ve a port of Lua 5.2 VM embedded on a microcontroller.

The Lua source code is compiled offline (on a Linux IDE) and only the byte code is downloaded to the microcontroller.

All works fine.

 

Now I would like to use on the Linux environment some precompilation.

This precompilation should involve some Lua _expression_ evaluation.

There are many metaprogramming solutions for Lua (http://lua-users.org/wiki/MetaProgramming).

Which one should you recommend in term of maturity and compatibility with 5.2?   

 

Metalua seems to perfectly fit my need with +{...} and -{...} notation.

But from the documentation, it seems that Metalua (only?) support Lua 5.1 (https://github.com/fab13n/metalua/tree/master).

Should I expect problem to run Metalua generated byte code on a Lua 5.2 VM?

 

Thanks,         Dominique T.
