LuaUtil

LuaUtil is a small library written in go that provides the toolset to work with lua code in a structured manner.

For contributors

To update the yacc stuff you need goyacc.

go get modernc.org/goyacc

Command to generate the go file from yacc:

goyacc -o parser.go parser.y

You can delete the y.output file afterwards.

Sources

The parser and ast is forked from gopher-lua and somewhat modified.

The ssa implementation is inspired by the GoLang ssa package.
