Memory usage

by using the method set_memory_limit you can control the max ram usage of lua, the default its 100mb

NOTE THAT EXTRA MEMORY ALOCATED OUTSIDE CALLBACKS OR EVALUATIONS ARE CONSIDER UNPROTECTED GEHAVIOR AND IT WILL KILL THE APPLICATION

#include "LuaCEmbedOne.c"

LuaCEmbedNamespace  lua_n;



int main(int argc, char *argv[]){

    lua_n =  newLuaCEmbedNamespace();
    LuaCEmbed * l = lua_n.newLuaEvaluation();
    int one_mega = 1;
    lua_n.set_memory_limit(l,one_mega);
    lua_n.evaluate(l,"t = 'a';while true do t = t .. t  end");

    if(lua_n.has_errors(l)){
        printf("error: %s\n",lua_n.get_error_message(l));
    }

    lua_n.free(l);

    return 0;
}

It will produce:

error: not enough memory
