LDT/User Area/Compatible Lua VMs
This page aims to list the Lua VMs which works with Lua Development Tools (LDT).
(Feel free to complete it with your tests)
| VM | Debugger Compatibility | Execution Environment | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name-Version | Based on | Officially supported | Transport Layer | Comments | Execution environment is only used to enable some user assistance (autocompletion, documentation) for a given VM |
| Lua-5.1 | Lua-5.1 |  Since LDT 0.1.
|
LuaSocket 2.0 needed. | Officially available since 0.8, shipped with LDT since 0.9.
| |
| Jnlua-0.9 | Lua-5.1 | Since LDT 0.9.
|
Based on Java Socket. | Interpreter based on Jnlua 0.9 shipped with LDT since 0.9. | Officially available since 0.8 (use Lua 5.1 one), shipped with LDT since 0.9.
|
| Mihini-0.8 | Lua-5.1 |  Coming soon.
|
LuaSocket 2.0 shipped by Mihini. | Coming soon.
| |
| Lua-5.2 | Lua-5.2 | In Progress.
|
LuaSocket 2.1 needed (not released yet). | Could partially work with the 0.9. | Not available for now (we are looking for community help). |
| Jnlua-1.0 | Lua-5.2 | Should work, not tested. | Need a transport layer, perhaps works with LuaSocket 2.1. | Could be nice to ship it with LDT. | (See Lua 5.2) |
| LuaJIT-2.0 | Lua-5.1 | In Progress.
|
Should work with LuaSocket 2.0 patched (here the patches to apply) and perhaps with LuaSocket 2.1 (not released yet). | Should work soon with a nightly build. | Lua 5.1 Execution environment could be used. |
| wxLua | Lua-5.1 | Not officially supported, but should work. | LuaSocket 2.0 needed. | Tested v2.8.10 on windows with LuaSocket 2.0 and LDT 0.9: works out of the box. | We don't know about any. Perhaps it could be partially generated from doxygen documentation (we are looking for community help).
Lua 5.1 execution environement could be used waiting for better. |
| MOAI | Lua-5.1 | Not officially supported. | LuaSocket shipped by MOAI. | Tested MOAI sdk v1.3-149 on windows : Works only with the "Lua Attach To Application" and seems there are problems with coroutine create with MOAI's API.
Could be nice to offer a better support. Could work out of the box if MOAI's interpreter was able to handle "-e" option. :/ |
