Title: luajit.tcz Description: Lua Just-In-Time Compiler Version: 2.0.0-beta9 Author: Mike Pall Original-site: http://luajit.org/luajit.html Copying-policy: GNU General Public License Version 2 Size: 212K Extension_by: vitex Comments: From http://luajit.org/luajit.html: LuaJIT implements the full set of language features defined by Lua 5.1. The virtual machine (VM) is API- and ABI-compatible to the standard Lua interpreter and can be deployed as a drop-in replacement. LuaJIT offers more performance, at the expense of portability. It currently runs on all popular operating systems based on x86 or x64 CPUs (Linux, Windows, OSX etc.) or embedded systems based on ARM (Android, iOS) or PPC CPUs. Other platforms will be supported in the future, based on user demand and sponsoring. ... The FFI library allows calling external C functions and using C data structures from pure Lua code. The FFI library largely obviates the need to write tedious manual Lua/C bindings in C. No need to learn a separate binding language — it parses plain C declarations! These can be cut-n-pasted from C header files or reference manuals. It's up to the task of binding large libraries without the need for dealing with fragile binding generators. ----------------------------------------------------- This extension was built from http://luajit.org/download/LuaJIT-2.0.0-beta9.tar.gz This extension contains the x86 version of the LuaJIT compiler.
