Hi, I am pleased to report that I have a hello world coming out of C code, JIT compiled via dmrC from inside Lua. Here is what the Lua script looks like: https://github.com/dibyendumajumdar/ravi/blob/master/ravi-tests/dmrc_test.lua And here is another use of Sparse - this time extracting the symbols into a Lua table. local somecode = [[ extern int adder(int a, int b); int adder(int a, int b) { return a+b; } ]] local symbols = dmrc.getsymbols(somecode) table_print(symbols) The output goes like this: [1] => table ( [1] => table ( [startcol] => 17 [endline] => 1 [file] => buffer [type] => function [id] => 1 [endcol] => 31 [builtintype] => int [arguments] => table ( [1] => table ( [startcol] => 18 [endline] => 1 [file] => buffer [ident] => a [id] => 2 [endcol] => 23 [builtintype] => int [startline] => 1 [alignment] => 4 [offset] => 0 [bitsize] => 32 [type] => node ) [2] => table ( [startcol] => 25 [endline] => 1 [file] => buffer [ident] => b [id] => 3 [endcol] => 30 [builtintype] => int [startline] => 1 [alignment] => 4 [offset] => 0 [bitsize] => 32 [type] => node ) ) [alignment] => 4 [offset] => 0 [bitsize] => 32 [startline] => 1 ) [startline] => 1 [basetype] => 1 [extern] => 1 [toplevel] => 1 [offset] => 0 [bitsize] => 32 [signed] => 1 [endline] => 1 [file] => buffer [ident] => adder [id] => 0 [endcol] => 31 [prototype] => 1 [type] => node [startcol] => 12 [addressable] => 1 [alignment] => 4 ) <truncated> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-sparse" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
