Hi! Today we use Lua to let 3rd party developers add driver-like modules to our application. The advantages to using Lua compared to DLL:s etc. are that: 1) the same driver binary can be used on all OS:es and processor architectures etc. 2) We can provide a small API to the Lua drivers and they _cannot_ call any other external functions. 3) A buggy driver cannot crash our application.

Have you tried llvm-lua? It adds JIT & static compiling support to the Lua VM using LLVM as the backend. I just released version 1.0 about a week ago. The project website is here: http://code.google.com/p/llvm-lua/ On Friday 05, Marcus Zetterquist wrote: > Hi! > > > Today we use Lua to let 3rd party developers add driver-like modules > to our application. > > The advantages to using Lua compared to DLL:s etc. are that: > > 1) the same driver binary can be used on all OS:es and processor > architectures etc. >...
