Hello everyone,
I'm using Lua in a side project, and it works perfectly well on Linux, macOS, Windows, Chrome (WebAssembly), and Firefox (WebAssembly).
However, in Safari, after days of investigation, I discovered a memory alignment issue (stack below) that points to Lua. I want to mention beforehand that it may not be a problem with Lua; it could be the library I use to abstract the Lua API to C++ (sol2), or it might be, and probably is, an error on my part.
