C family. Typically use "multi-cycle" compling. I a first step not much optimization, and ten more and more... . This complete process does not need to take care very much on resources or timing, it just takes "as long as it needs" and uses "as many resources as it needs"... . The main thing is to get a very efficient and compact machine code in the end. But Lua is a script language with very efficient runtime compiler. Any time or also RAM spoiling would be not very friendly here at all for a huge and dominant part of applications. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lua-l" group.
