Known Limitations
While wYnFuscate provides strong protection, there are some technical limitations to be aware of due to VM overhead and obfuscation techniques.
Content Coming Soon
This page will document all known limitations with workarounds and best practices.
Technical Limitations
Stack Level Differences
The VM adds additional stack frames. Code that relies on specific stack levels (e.g., debug.getinfo) may behave differently.
Upvalue Handling
Due to VM architecture, upvalue access patterns may differ from native Lua. This is rarely an issue but can affect certain edge cases.
Performance Overhead
Obfuscated code has some performance overhead due to VM interpretation. For performance-critical sections, consider the optimization tips.
