Re: C module compatibility

[Tomás Guisasola <tomas@...>]

Hi Antonin

Some years ago I wrote a small page on that subject, due to my efforts
with libraries such as LuaSQL, LuaExpat and others:

http://lua-users.org/wiki/CompatibilityWithLuaFive

I did not update it to Lua 5.3 but I think code targeted at Lua 5.2
will compile smoothly with Lua 5.3.  I hope it could be helpful.

Regards,
Tomás
