Re: [4diac-dev] Timeliterals in Lua

I am not sure what this function should do you propose. If TIME and the Lua representation will save the time value in nanoseconds, the value should be simply copy-able? Or do I miss some detail?

Thinking about it, will there be even a separate Lua representation? As far as I remember reading about Lua interpreters, the TIME datatype should be accessible and somehow useable via Lua anyhow?

Best,
Martin

I was not sure about it but find it a good idea. However to make code generation easier and also more consistent / independent from FORTE configurations I think would should provide a function like LINT_TO_TIME_IN_NS which can then be uitlized by Jan.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Alois
