Lua DynAsm: Any reference or links to guide me through?

Question

I want to experiment with Lua's DynASM (as a fast general purpose JIT engine)

I couldn't find any docs or references to help me with it. Does anybody even use it (outside of LuaJIT of course) ?

Answer 1

From the (superficial-ish) research I did a while back, the only documentation is luajits source, which is a bit annoying, and one of the reasons i gave up on it (as the source annoys me profusely, as great as it is)... Imo, unless you somehow get mike pall to sacrifice some time, your on your own, don't let that discourage you though, cause there is nothing to stop you making the unofficial docs(or a wiki) with mikes blessing, and i'm sure he'll answer any questions, just like he does on the lua mailing list.
