hslua v0.9.0 Release Notes
-
- ➕ Added cabal flag to allow fully safe garbage collection: Lua garbage
collection can occur in most of the API functions, even in those usually not
calling back into haskell and hence marked as optimizable. The effect of this
is that finalizers which call Haskell functions will cause the program to
hang. A new flag
allow-unsafe-gcis introduced and enabled by default. Disabling this flag will mark more C API functions as potentially calling back into Haskell. This has a serious performance impact. - ✅
FromLuaStackandToLuaStackinstances for lazy ByteStrings are added. - None-string error messages are handled properly: Lua allows error messages to be of any type, but the haskell error handlers expected string values. Tables, booleans, and other non-string values are now handled as well and converted to strings.
