How to compile luaJit's c bytecode


you can generate bytecode in form of c with luaJIT : luajit -b main.lua main.c it generate a c code with no main so my guess is to link it. How to do that with mingw64?


Solution

  • You seem to misunderstand what exactly that does.

    LuaJIT does not compile your Lua source code into equivalent C code. It compiles it to Lua bye code, and encodes this binary data as a static C array, so you can include the byte code directly in a program that uses LuaJIT and have it as a single executable.
