Hello @HarryChen001,

The original "C" Lua engine has a debug feature to limit the CPU time. But I'm not sure if the GO version has such feature!

The Lua manual https://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/manual.html#lua_sethook has a function description to hook the Lua VM and limit the CPU usage.

int lua_sethook (lua_State *L, lua_Hook f, int mask, int count);

It's something like this:

lua_sethook(L, hook_func, LUA_MASKCOUNT, num_instructions_per_hook);

I guess, we should read the documentation or source code to findout!

@fbogsany,

Do we have anythink like that in go-lua?
