- Subject: [ANN] Emergency GC patch release 4 for Lua 5.1.4
- From: "Robert G. Jakabosky" <bobby@...>

The Emergency GC patch makes it safe to call the Lua garbage collector after a
memory allocation has failed. This allows the garbage collector to free some
memory so that the failed allocation can be retried. The patch also add
support for setting a limit on how much memory Lua scripts can allocate.
This new release fixes some more EGC related bugs.
Here is the new patch:
