HN Reader

Thanks for submitting! We know HN has a sweet spot for LuaJIT, so we figured it would eventually end up here.

Quick summary: this post dives into the gory details of how we implemented an eBPF based profiler for LuaJIT.

Let us know if you have any questions on this, we’ll keep an eye out on comments!

I wrote the code and the blog, happy to answer any questions/comments. Very eager to have folks try it out and give feedback! Like is my meme game strong or very strong? J/K

There's some missing bits around FFI and callbacks (i.e. C calling function pointer that is a luajit generated stub back into the interpreter) and curious if anyone actually uses these things in OpenResty workloads. Deploy and enjoy!

Lua and Nginx are fantastic. Did you know it's possible to add behavior/code lua for openrest dynamically? https://github.com/leandromoreira/lua-resty-dynacode?tab=rea...

LuaJIT.org stopped publishing release tarballs [1] which caused leafo's GH actions builds [2] to suddenly stop working. The workaround was to start testing against OpenResty's distribution of LuaJIT [3] which is incompatible with LuaJIT.org's version.

There is no faster way to make a fork the de facto standard version than to break everyone's CI builds.

I’m tremendous excited about LuaJIT 3.0 development.

Q: does anyone know timeline on the release?
