Lua operations, that works in mutitheaded environment
- by SBKarr
My application uses Lua in multithreaded environment with global mutex. It implemented like this:
Thread locks mutex,
Call lua_newthread
Perform some initialization on coroutine
Run lua_resume on coroutine
Unlocks mutex
lua_lock/unlock is not implemented, GC is stopped, when lua works with coroutine.
My question is, can I perform steps 2 and 3 without locking, if initialisation process does not requires any global Lua structs? Can i perform all this process without locking at all, if coroutine does not requires globals too?
In what case I generally can use Lua functions without locking?
