What Hacker News says

4 sources
I did write a Lua binding to TCC [1] and used that to write a Lua module to load Lua modules written in C directly from source code [2], which I used in an older version of my JSON decoder [3], which contains the C code embedded right in the Lua source code. On the down side, TCC doesn't support all the architectures I use, so I mostly use it for proof-of-concept and throw away code. One thing I keep thinking is to possibly use TCC (or parts of it) to parse C header files directly, so it would be easier to use an FFI in Lua. [1] https://github.com/spc476/lua-conmanorg/blob/master/src/tcc.... [2] https://github.com/spc476/lua-conmanorg/blob/master/lua/cc.l... [3] https://github.com/spc476/LPeg-Parsers/blob/json-1.0.0/json....
In LuaJIT 2.0.5 and 2.1.0-beta3 released
Well, it's finicky. You'll need to install several custom written Lua modules [1]. These have been tested under Linux and Solaris. You will definitely have to edit the Makefile to exclude building some of the modules like org.conman.tcc [2] because of dependency issues (TCC isn't for the faint of heart). If you are on another Unix system, you'll probably be able to get most of it built (at the least, you'll need org.conman.process, org.conman.net and org.conman.pollset). You will also need to install LPeg [3]. Once all those are installed, then you'll be able to run the code: http://pastebin.com/ZBq5gSbS Or you can just look at the code: http://pastebin.com/ZBq5gSbS The coroutine stuff is there, just well hidden. I will also link to a sample multiuser chat room (no security, very basic): http://pastebin.com/u6vSPc69 [1] https://githu
Read the rest
b.com/spc476/lua-conmanorg [2] It's a Lua interface to the TCC library, which is a C compiler-as-a-library. Not used in the same code I posted, but it is something I find immensely useful, but I would classify as "advanced." [3] http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/ This is the Lua Parsing Expression Grammar library. If you are familiar with compiler tools, think lex and yacc (or flex and bison).
