Description

Hi Developers

  • Windows ARM64EC is a Windows-on-ARM ABI that allows native ARM64 execution while maintaining interoperability with x64 code through emulation. This is particularly useful for applications that rely on existing x64 plugins or libraries.

  • Currently, LuaJIT2 provides support for Windows x64 and ARM64 targets. We are interested in adding support for the Windows ARM64EC architecture and contributing this work to the upstream.

  • We would like to know whether the LuaJIT2 project is open to accepting patches that add ARM64EC support. If yes, we would be happy to work on the implementation and contribute the necessary changes.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First confirm whether LuaJIT2 will accept Windows ARM64EC support, then identify the existing Windows x64 and ARM64 support areas to scope the work. Done would require an agreed implementation plan and the necessary upstream patches.
