Re: Lua Code Combine (LuaCC)

[Valerio Schiavoni <valerio.schiavoni@...>]

Hello,

You just specify the source files and luacc will generate you a single one. When I faced with this simple task I didn't find something really simple to use that I can use in automatic way. Btw, I can rename it to Yet Another Lua Code Combiner =)

What I would really like is a tool that transparently works for multi-file Lua programs for which the dependencies are either themselves Lua files or native (compiled) ones. 

Then, the tool would auto-magically take care of repacking (potentially, fetching the dependencies and recompiling them) everything as one single fat binary or a single fat Lua file. 

It could go even one step further, that is producing a single executable file which embeds the LuaVM itself, following the recent trend of unikernels.

I keep on dreaming :-)

Hello Miha,

can you compare it to the various alternatives that exist such as
soar, which is the one I use myself? What does it do better or
differently?
