For the latest stable version, please use Emilua API 0.10!

Lua 5.1

Emilua is based on LuaJIT which means Lua 5.1 + some Lua 5.2 extensions. However some builtin Lua modules conflict with Emilua modules and thus are not available. This page lists the divergences.

Enabled modules

  • Basic library, which includes the coroutine sub-library.

  • String.

  • Table.

  • Math.

  • BitOp.

  • JIT.

  • FFI.

In other words, the following modules are not enabled:

  • IO.

  • OS.

  • Package (a replacement which may or may not be a drop-in replacement will be available in the future).

  • Debug (it’ll be available in a future release).
