Hi everyone,
I was wondering what is the recommended way to disallow script changing the global table. The problem I am facing, assuming I provide for example an api to the users, A1, another user can do: 'A1=function ... end', and override my implementation of A1 and cause all other users to run his code.
I can think of multiple ways:
1. Create a lua vm per script - this requires a lot of memory
2. Different environments per script - also might require a lot of memory
3. Make the global table a Readonly tables as described here:
http://lua-users.org/wiki/ReadOnlyTables, though in this way user can use rawset to bypass it, and I can not use a userdata to avoid it because I can not set a usedata as a global table (and I do not want to disallow rawset).
Is there any other way to lock the global table from any changes?
I am using lua 5.1.5.
Thanks.
