It's sad to see another person having to lose time again with that very
same issue.
At the time I faced the same situation, I found problems in both sides (LR
and LuaSQL). And tried to fix them myself.
LR had a bug that my pull request solved. But LuaSQL is more than one year
waiting for the request to be analysed. Today I use my own version of
luasql.postgres from my github clone and so I can have what I need.
As others pointed out the use of malloc and free is not that dangerous in
this case and not even LUA provides a simple way to handle out of memory
exceptions (one will need to hack the longjmps).
IMO it's better to have the lib available for everyone even with a "may
happen - low probability" known issue than simply keep it unavailable for
Windows users.
Sorry for complaining. But I want the best for both projects. Lua will only
be widely adopted if we have great and working tools for everyone to use
without great friction.
