Changing the backend to cover up portability issues in the engine is not an option that scales, and hence IMO is not an option at all.<br>

If you want to keep Lua directly inside ScummVM, you'll have to work around any portability issues it has. This has been explained on this very list before, even including lists of problematic symbols in the Lua code :).<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Yeh. You're right. I think it's going to be unlikely that we'll ever be able to use a clean LUA library with all the systems ScumMVM supports, so the due consideration should be to making the codebase compile as cleanly as possible on all the systems.<br>
