Nelua's Lua Interpreter

This is the Lua 5.4.6 interpreter used by Nelua, with the following changes:

  • Uses rpmalloc as the default memory allocator (usually much faster than the system's default memory allocator).
  • Libraries "hasher", "lpeglabel", "sys" and "lfs" are bundled (they are required by Nelua compiler).
  • Use a distribution friendly LUA_ROOT in luaconf.h
  • Use -fno-crossjumping -fno-gcse in lua VM for a faster instruction execution.
  • C compilation flags are tuned to squeeze more performance from the Lua interpreter.
  • Execute luainit.lua code on startup, used to adjust package.path to make Nelua compiler files available with require.

It is recommended to use this interpreter to have the same behavior and because it can be ~30% faster than the standard Lua.
