The Lua “io” library is now capable of getting input from the R console (e.g. with io.read()) – previously, trying this would cause R to hang (at least from RStudio).
The Lua os.exit() function now ends Lua execution without crashing RStudio.
lua_shell() now stores commands in the R console history.
The luajr build process now skips making libluajit.so and the luajit executable, as these are not needed for luajr.
Corrected an oversight in the documentation for lua_shell(); this fixes issue #3. Thanks to @SugarRayLua for bringing my attention to this!
Addressed some further issues turned up by CRAN checks.
Added support for passing the R type “raw” to Lua, as a string potentially with embedded nulls, and for returning strings with embedded nulls from Lua, which become “raw”s in R.
Replaced calls to Rf_allocVector3 with calls to Rf_allocVector, as the former is apparently not part of the API allowed in CRAN packages, as requested by CRAN.
@TimTaylor improved the R version of the “logistic map” example and benchmark in the main luajr vignette, so that now the R version is only 10x slower than the Lua version, not 2,500x slower. This fixes issue #2. Thanks Tim!
Removed a compiler flag, -Wformat, that was causing
errors with some standard R environments, most notably the
rocker/r-base Docker environment. This fixes issue #1. Thanks
@jonocarroll for
reporting and helping to fix luajr’s first official bug! :-)
luajr Lua module.lua_parallel() for basic multithreading.These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
