Top 23 C++ Scripting Projects

  • V8

    The official mirror of the V8 Git repository

    • Project mention: Boehm Garbage Collector | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-21

    Due to the nature of web engine workloads migrating objects to being GC'd isn't performance negative (as most people would expect). With care it can often end up performance positive.

    There are a few tricks that Oilpan can apply. Concurrent tracing helps a lot (e.g. instead of incrementing/decrementing refs, you can trace on a different thread), in addition when destructing objects, the destructors typically become trivial meaning the object can just be dropped from memory. Both these free up main thread time. (The tradeoff with concurrent tracing is that you need atomic barriers when assigning pointers which needs care).

    This is on top of the safey improvements you gain from being GC'd vs. smart pointers, etc.

    One major tradeoff that UAF bugs become more difficult to fix, as you are just accessing objects which "should" be dead.

  • AutoHotkey

  • luau

    • Project mention: Building a baseline JIT for Lua automatically | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-11

    As far as I can tell, they aren't.

    http://lua-users.org/wiki/SandBoxes

    There is a lot of information there, but it doesn't handle resource exhaustion, execution time limits or give any guarantees. It does indicate that it's possible, and has a decent example of the most restrictive setup, which is a good start. But I would for example compare it with Luau's SECURITY.md.

    From https://github.com/luau-lang/luau/blob/master/SECURITY.md:

    > Luau provides a safe sandbox that scripts can not escape from, short of vulnerabilities in custom C functions exposed by the host. This includes the virtual machine and builtin libraries. Notably this currently does not include the work-in-progress native code generation facilities.

    > Any source code can not result in memory safety errors or crashes during its compilation or execution. Violations of memory safety are considered vulnerabilities.

    > Note that Luau does not provide termination guarantees - some code may exhaust CPU or RAM resources on the system during compilation or execution.

    So, even luau will have trouble with untrusted code, but it specifies exactly what happens and so on. I think that's fair enough.

  • ChaiScript

    Yeah the VR mode is unfortunately exclusive to PlayStation. There is a VR mod for older RE games, but it doesn’t support RE4.
