Ok, thanks ;-).
have you any plans to add such a thing or is this totaly of your
scope?
It could be done if that's the only thing needed for nginx
integration. I need to get confirmation for nginx author before
looking into it.
You can find the answer of Igor here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.nginx.english/4611/focus=4618
after that there was some discussion about lua and neko memory handling
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.nginx.english/4611/focus=4625
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.nginx.english/4611/focus=4628
due the fact tha I'am not very good in lua nor in neko, are there any
comments about the thread?
Neko is using exceptions most of the time, so yes it could be possible
to use these to return to toplevel control.
However while some resources such as regexp or mysql connection are
correctly cleanup by the GC, some other ones such as files or sockets
are not. It could be done very easily, but it's not a good choice in
general to rely on the GC for this kind of thing.
As I said before, there are very few malloc() places where memory could
be checked which are currently not. It's not that much useful right now
since in general swap is used and the Neko toplevel can catch signals
and throw an exception instead.
BTW the vm/gc.c code is an experimental GC that is not used by Neko
(Neko uses boehm gc).
A complete Neko/Lua comparison can be found here : http://nekovm.org/lua
