Incomplete LuaJIT threading library. Not working on this anymore.

LuaJIT Threads

A library for LuaJIT to spawn separate threads that run Lua code.

The library uses LuaJIT's FFI as much as it can, however some C code it neccessary to start the thread's main function.

Files are:

• threads.lua: The main library file. Contains primitive types such as Threads and mutexes
• luajitthreads.c: A small bit of neccessary C code.
• test.lua: Test code

luajit-threads's Issues

Create thread callback on new thread's state

Basically, create the thread's main function in the child Lua state, casting it to a number to get it through the C API.

make errors on linux

should be -llua, without any specific version number.

and -fPIC, not -f PIC
