Re: Impact of several Lua environments

[Ignacio Castaño <castanyo@...>]

Hi,
I don't know exactly the cost of having many different lua states.
However, if you want to avoid it, you can use different global tables in the
same state. That is, use a single state, create a table for each object and
use setglobals to set the appropiate table when using a specific object.
