Today's post is about the compiler implementation work I've been doing at
Igalia for the past month and a half or so.
The networking team at Igalia
maintains the pflua library for fast packet
filtering in Lua. The library implements the pflang
language, which is what we call the filtering language that's built into tools like
tcpdump
and libpcap.
