Hi,
from the installation documentation I understand that in general it's
suggested to prefer using luaL_newstate instead of lua_newstate due to
the later will make use of the default (slower) memory allocator.
Would things be different if one makes use of a customized allocator
already (i.e. specify that other allocator as the first parameter to
lua_newstate()? If the allocator is as fast as the one provided with
LuaJIT are there any other expected pitfalls/problems/downsides of
sticking with lua_newstate()?
Regards,
Stefan
