Actually I wrote all modifications myself. I may not remember all changes but here is a incomplete list: - Breakpoint op_code, needed for faster debugging (from extreemly slow to no runtime impact) - lua_canyield() a API function that returns whether it is possible to yield at the moment. - Some changes to lua_getinfo to return the correct line when called on a yielded task (It was off by one). - Changed all files to .cpp to allow own fixed point class to be used as lua_Number - Made require yieldable (you may now yield from a script which is required from another script) - Made tostring yieldable (you may now yield from a metamethod that is called from tostring.)On May 5, 2014, at 1:14 AM, Thomas Jericke <tjericke@indel.ch> wrote:You have to know that I don't use vanilla Lua. I can't. There are a few things that make it necessary for me to use a modified version of Lua. That said, I am very interested in ideas and other patches of Lua that will _never_ make it into vanilla Lua. If there is a good idea about a potential patch of Lua and I could use it for my own version, I like to know it, and I would search for this ideas right here in this list. It has been said before lately, it is actually one of the big strengths of Lua that you can modify it so easily.Well, you may be happy to see some of the patches I will be releasing soon, as I work towards my own Lua variant. Do you have a list of the patches you have applied to your personal version of Lua? ~pmd~
There could be some other tweaks.I think it may be a good idea to make a patch that makes the whole standard library yieldable.
