## About Lua

Skynet push a mondified version of lua 5.2.3 to 3rd/lua , it can share proto type between lua state (http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2014-03/msg00489.html) .

Each lua file only load once and cache it in memory during skynet start, so if you want to reflush the cache , call skynet.cache.clear() .

You can also use the offical lua version , edit the makefile by yourself .
