Controlling low level systems with a high level langauge

I worked on the following items throughout summer as part of GSoC with LabLua:

  • Lua eBPF abstraction layer: Scheduler binding luasched

List of miscellaneous PRs I created while starting out with the project

  • #341: Added an LLDP example using AF_PACKET to demonstrate low-level packet I/O
  • #360, #364: Standardized raw socket patterns for safer reuse
  • #378: Enforced explicit (protocol, ifindex) pairing in raw_socket:bind() for API correctness
  • #410: Eliminated index-based method dispatch by eagerly wrapping class methods at initialization, reducing allocations in hot paths
  • #434: Added support for non-shared objects within shared classes, bypassing unnecessary object locking
