Ah. Yeah applying resource limitations outside of memory usage is always a bit awkward. The only really supported way to my knowledge is to externally set a hook and trigger an error when called: https://github.com/lua/lua/blob/master/lua.c#L40-L59. I think this doesn't always work in tight loops though.

I remember patching Lua over 10 years ago for a programming game. I essentially counted VM instructions and stopped executing when reaching the limit. It survived malicious players on a hacker conference back then ;-)

The probably badly aged code is still available here: https://github.com/dividuum/infon/blob/c25eb749b17df3fd9b7a5...
