Remove unused LuaJIT 1.1.7, since the 2.0 version works fine.

19 | <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2> | ||
20 | <B>luac</B> | ||
21 | is the Lua compiler. | ||
22 | It translates programs written in the Lua programming language | ||
23 | into binary files that can be later loaded and executed. | ||
24 | <P> | ||
25 | The main advantages of precompiling chunks are: | ||
26 | faster loading, | ||
27 | protecting source code from accidental user changes, | ||
28 | and | ||
29 | off-line syntax checking. | ||
30 | <P> | ||
31 | Precompiling does not imply faster execution | ||
32 | because in Lua chunks are always compiled into bytecodes before being executed. | ||
33 | <B>luac</B> | ||
34 | simply allows those bytecodes to be saved in a file for later execution. | ||
35 | <P> | ||
36 | Precompiled chunks are not necessarily smaller than the corresponding source. | ||
37 | The main goal in precompiling is faster loading. | ||
38 | <P> | ||
39 | The binary files created by | ||
40 | <B>luac</B> | ||
41 | are portable only among architectures with the same word size and byte order. | ||
42 | <P> | ||
43 | <B>luac</B> | ||
44 | produces a single output file containing the bytecodes | ||
45 | for all source files given. | ||
46 | By default, | ||
47 | the output file is named | ||
48 | <B>luac.out</B>, | ||
49 | but you can change this with the | ||
50 | <B>-o</B> | ||
51 | option. | ||
52 | <P> | ||
53 | In the command line, | ||
54 | you can mix | ||
55 | text files containing Lua source and | ||
56 | binary files containing precompiled chunks. | ||
57 | This is useful because several precompiled chunks, | ||
58 | even from different (but compatible) platforms, | ||
59 | can be combined into a single precompiled chunk. | ||
60 | <P> | ||
61 | You can use | ||
62 | <B>'-'</B> | ||
63 | to indicate the standard input as a source file | ||
64 | and | ||
65 | <B>'--'</B> | ||
66 | to signal the end of options | ||
67 | (that is, | ||
68 | all remaining arguments will be treated as files even if they start with | ||
69 | <B>'-'</B>). | ||
70 | <P> | ||
71 | The internal format of the binary files produced by | ||
72 | <B>luac</B> | ||
73 | is likely to change when a new version of Lua is released. | ||
74 | So, | ||
75 | save the source files of all Lua programs that you precompile. | ||
76 | <P> | ||
77 | <H2>OPTIONS</H2> | ||
78 | Options must be separate. | ||
79 | <P> | ||
80 | <B>-l</B> | ||
81 | produce a listing of the compiled bytecode for Lua's virtual machine. | ||
82 | Listing bytecodes is useful to learn about Lua's virtual machine. | ||
83 | If no files are given, then | ||
84 | <B>luac</B> | ||
85 | loads | ||
86 | <B>luac.out</B> | ||
87 | and lists its contents. | ||
88 | <P> | ||
89 | <B>-o </B><I>file</I> | ||
90 | output to | ||
91 | <I>file</I>, | ||
92 | instead of the default | ||
93 | <B>luac.out</B>. | ||
94 | (You can use | ||
95 | <B>'-'</B> | ||
96 | for standard output, | ||
97 | but not on platforms that open standard output in text mode.) | ||
98 | The output file may be a source file because | ||
99 | all files are loaded before the output file is written. | ||
100 | Be careful not to overwrite precious files. | ||
101 | <P> | ||
102 | <B>-p</B> | ||
103 | load files but do not generate any output file. | ||
104 | Used mainly for syntax checking and for testing precompiled chunks: | ||
105 | corrupted files will probably generate errors when loaded. | ||
106 | Lua always performs a thorough integrity test on precompiled chunks. | ||
107 | Bytecode that passes this test is completely safe, | ||
108 | in the sense that it will not break the interpreter. | ||
109 | However, | ||
110 | there is no guarantee that such code does anything sensible. | ||
111 | (None can be given, because the halting problem is unsolvable.) | ||
112 | If no files are given, then | ||
113 | <B>luac</B> | ||
114 | loads | ||
115 | <B>luac.out</B> | ||
116 | and tests its contents. | ||
117 | No messages are displayed if the file passes the integrity test. | ||
118 | <P> | ||
119 | <B>-s</B> | ||
120 | strip debug information before writing the output file. | ||
121 | This saves some space in very large chunks, | ||
122 | but if errors occur when running a stripped chunk, | ||
123 | then the error messages may not contain the full information they usually do. | ||
124 | For instance, | ||
125 | line numbers and names of local variables are lost. | ||
126 | <P> | ||
127 | <B>-v</B> | ||
128 | show version information. | ||
