Re: [glob2-devel] Lua alongside USL

[Stéphane Magnenat]

Hi,

We have had this discussion for a long time. LUA does not provide the requred 
features (checkpointing, predictive execution) for its use in the core engine. 
It could be used for scripting the GUI though, but why dispersing the 
scripting work?

We should add serialization (for checkpointing) to USL, maybe fix its rather 
ineficient implementation of loops (that is, implement tail recursion 
elimination), and then USL is very use ful. We can simplify the binding of  
function using boost::function and boost::parameters_types, the first is a 
clean way to embed function pointer, the second generates a mpl vector (that 
is, a sequence of types) with the arguments of a function pointer.

Martin, is the above list correct?

Kind regards,

Stéphane
