RE: [ANN] LuaJIT 1.0.3

[John Mckenna <jmckenna@...>]

Getting it to compile was pretty painless.  Getting it to compile properly
after I'd read the instructions was equally painless.  I'm on Windows XP,
with VS 7.1

My test program was an LBG vector quantizer that I'd written in the Lua 4
days.  A little hacking to get Lua 5 to like it doubled the speed.  A little
more hacking for LuaJIT doubled the speed again.

Nice work.

Hi,

this is the initial public release of LuaJIT,
a Just-In-Time (JIT) Compiler for Lua 5.1.

Please visit the project home page for more info:

  http://luajit.luaforge.net/

LuaJIT is based on Lua 5.1 alpha (plus some fixes). All the
usual caveats about early releases of Lua 5.1 apply here, too.

The first releases of LuaJIT targets x86 (i386+) CPUs only.
LuaJIT has been tested on Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
and Windows.

Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you!

Bye,
     Mike
