luajit mode with C API

Question

I'm starting at LUAJIT.

LUAJIT has a function to set mode

LUA_API int luaJIT_setmode(lua_State *L, int idx, int mode);

Is there any way to get actual mode ?

Thanks

I'm not sure that you can do that, and I'm not sure if this is an option for you, but you could edit src/lj_dispatch.c, and add (untested):

int luaJIT_getmode(lua_State *L, int idx) {
  global_State *g = G(L);
  return G2J(g)->flags;
}

and you would add a definition into luajit.h. I don't think this is very pragmatic, but in the spirit of const_cast I see no reason for it not to work. Suggest avoiding the need to do this though...
