I have implemented something along your suggestions using the current
macros. Instead of putting the "lock" stuff in global_State, I created
a new structure for them, and set LUA_USERSTATE to be a pointer to this
structure. When I create the state (with lua_open), I allocate this
structure:
*(mystruct **)L = malloc(sizeof(mystruct));
/* initialize mystruct ... */
When I create new stacks, I copy the pointer from the old
thread to the new one:
NL = lua_newthread(L, 0);
*(mystruct **)NL = *(mystruct **)L;
That way, all threads share the same structure (and we need no extra support
from Lua).
