LuaJIT 2.0 is the current stable branch. This branch is in
|
|
feature-freeze E<mdash> new features will only be added to LuaJIT 2.1.
|
|
|
|
=head2 Current Status
|
|
|
|
LuaJIT ought to run all Lua 5.1-compatible source code just fine. It's
|
|
considered a serious bug if the VM crashes or produces unexpected
|
|
results E<mdash> please report this.
|
|
|
|
Known incompatibilities and issues in LuaJIT 2.0:
|
|
|
|
=over
|
|
|
|
=item * There are some differences in B<implementation-defined>
|
|
behavior. These either have a good reason, are arbitrary design choices
|
|
or are due to quirks in the VM. The latter cases may get fixed if a
|
|
demonstrable need is shown.
|
|
|
|
=item * The Lua B<debug API> is missing a couple of features (return
|
|
hooks for non-Lua functions) and shows slightly different behavior in
|
|
LuaJIT (no per-coroutine hooks, no tail call counting).
|
|
|
|
=item * Currently some B<out-of-memory> errors from B<on-trace code>
|
|
are not handled correctly. The error may fall through an on-trace
|
|
C<pcall> or it may be passed on to the function set with C<lua_atpanic>
|
|
on x64. This issue will be fixed with the new garbage collector.
|
|
|
|
=item * LuaJIT on 64 bit systems provides a B<limited range> of 47 bits
|
|
for the B<legacy C<lightuserdata>> data type. This is only relevant on
|
|
x64 systems which use the negative part of the virtual address space in
|
|
user mode, e.g. Solaris/x64, and on ARM64 systems configured with a 48
|
|
bit or 52 bit VA. Avoid using C<lightuserdata> to hold pointers that
|
|
may point outside of that range, e.g. variables on the stack. In
|
|
general, avoid this data type for new code and replace it with (much
|
|
more performant) FFI bindings. FFI cdata pointers can address the full
|
|
64 bit range.
