Lua issues,

• may be caused by use clang + libc++ to build library cocos2d-x-3rd-party-libs-src#160
• developer report this at Chinese forum, http://forum.cocos.com/t/cocos-3-17-lua/67539

I have doubt on this commit cocos2d/cocos2d-x-3rd-party-libs-src@c7ce4f6

when compile luajit, why use gcc directly, is it a cross-compiler ? change it to compiler same with others will trigger what errors.

could you research this when you free. @PatriceJiang

so I think lua external libs issues should been solved before 3.17.1 released. but all 3.17 external update we can put it into next release. @PatriceJiang @crazyhappygame

[drelaptop]

can't reproduce lua issue by run lua-tests release, move it into next milestone

[semgilo]

how about the issue now?@drelaptop @PatriceJiang

[minggo]

i think lua crash issue is fixed in 3.17.1

[semgilo]

@minggo thx, i will take a test.

[semgilo]

@minggo i upgraded to 3.17.1 and got other issues.
win32: crash on close window and some performance issues
There may be some parts that have not been upgraded sucessfully. I don't have much time to debug . Is there any way to upgrade only part of it?

[minggo]

Yep, you can just replace the luajit lib.

[semgilo]

I replace the luajit and crash again,release mode debug is ok

[minggo]

Does it crash in luajit. And did you clean and rebuild the application?

[semgilo]

It works, but you need to pay attention to the changes in luajit
math.mod -> math.fmod
string.gfind -> string.gmatch
LuaJIT/LuaJIT#302

[minggo]

Thanks for the information. How did you find it?

[semgilo]

i replace luajit lib, it crashes for math.mod is nil. i fixed it by google and test on many devices. everything is ok.
