Is standard Lua supported instead of LuaJIT?

[oz-rw]

After searching for include "luajit.h" in the codebase, it seems to me that the LuaJIT C API is NOT actually used.
Under the directories src/ and plugins/ only the standard "lua.h" "lauxlib.h" "lualib.h from Lua are included.

Therefore it should be possible to use standard lua in its place? I modified the CMake configuration to accept a LUA_DIR with the Lua 5.4 source code instead of a LUAJIT_DIR and the lua filter seems to work fine.

Therefore I just wanted a confirmation that there isn't actual use of LuaJIT?

Because then I could open a PR for adding Lua5.4 support in the build.

I would just open a PR, ideally we can test it there but I suspect adding more LUA tests would be appreciated too.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I was planning to do that, but my changes would require about 3 lines of modification under the vendored lib/luajit-cmake "subproject". I suppose I should avoid that and try to fix/modify using the cmake/luajit.cmake wrapper?

Vendored changes are generally to be avoided - they should be via the upstream project - however it may demonstrate it works for then subsequent refactoring.
