I noticed that Source Forge is not archiving this list.  Would someone  
be able to direct me to an archive or help me with the Mailman command  
to get any archives?

Thanks,

McKinley

It's not archiving the list because nobody's posted a message to it 
before! (There's not a lot of traffic here...)

Is there anything I can help you with?

Lua GOTO, was Archives

I wanted to read up before asking a question, thanks.

Can anything be done with Lua's support for proper tail calls to rig  
up a sort of GOTO to speed things up?

By the way, looking at your blog, are you in Scotland like me?

Thanks,

McKinley

Yes, I did wonder about that, and did a bit of benchmarking to see how
fast they are. The end result is that it would be perfectly possible,
with one Lua function per basic block, but that passing state between
basic blocks would require upvalues. This means every call to a C
function would have to allocate these, which I think would do poor
things for performance.

It may be worth doing anyway: I think Lua, and particularly LuaJIT, may
contain code to optimise away at least some of the allocations. However,
I rather ran out of time before getting that far.

I'm Scottish, but currently living in Reading. Unfortunately...
