Module lace.compiler
The compiler for the Lua Access Control engine.
Lace works hard to give you good error message information when encountering problems with your rulesets. The compiler gathers a lot of debug information and stores it alongside the compiled ruleset.

-
Compile a lace ruleset.
Compile a lace ruleset so that it can be executed by lace.engine.run later. If you provide content then it is compiled using the source name as the name used in error messages. If you do not supply any content then Lace will construct an implicit include of the given source name.
Parameters:
- ctx table Compilation context
- src string Source name
- cnt optional string Source contents (nil to cause an implicit include of src)
Returns:
-
table
