[lttng-dev] GSoC 2013 idea: support a new language binding for lttng

[Brosseau, Yannick]

Hi,

I have some experience with Lua, so I could probably act as a mentor on
this one.
It would be interesting to find a specific use case to instrument that is
applied to the Lua language. Lot of games use this language, so I can see
some use at least there.
