The flag CIST_FIN does not mark a finalizer, but the function that was
running when the finalizer was called. (So, the function did not call
the finalizer, but it looks that way in the stack.)
When available, use the calling code to find a suitable name for what
was being called; this is particularly useful for errors of non-callable
metamethods. This commit also improved the debug information for
order metamethods.
The macro 'luaL_pushfail' documents all places in the standard libraries
that return nil to signal some kind of failure. It is defined as
'lua_pushnil'. The manual also got a notation (@fail) to document those
returns. The tests were changed to be agnostic regarding whether 'fail'
is 'nil' or 'false'.
The addresses of static variables may be different for different
instances of Lua, making these instances incompatible if they use
these addresses as unique keys in the registry (or other tables).
Back to how it was, a coroutine does not unwind its stack in case of
errors (and therefore do not close its to-be-closed variables). This
allows the stack to be examined after the error. The program can
use 'coroutine.kill' to close the variables.
The function created by 'coroutine.wrap', however, closes the
coroutine's variables in case of errors, as it is impossible to examine
the stack any way.
When calling metamethods for things like 'a < 3.0', which generates
the opcode OP_LTI, the C register tells that the operand was
converted to an integer, so that it can be corrected to float when
calling a metamethod.
This commit also includes some other stuff:
- file 'onelua.c' added to the project
- opcode OP_PREPVARARG renamed to OP_VARARGPREP
- comparison opcodes rewritten through macros
The numerical 'for' loop over integers now uses a precomputed counter
to control its number of iteractions. This change eliminates several
weird cases caused by overflows (wrap-around) in the control variable.
(It also ensures that every integer loop halts.)
Also, the special opcodes for the usual case of step==1 were removed.
(The new code is already somewhat complex for the usual case,
but efficient.)
It is an error for a to-be-closed variable to have a non-closable
non-nil value when it is being closed. This situation does not seem to
be useful and often hints to an error. (Particularly in the C API, it is
easy to change a to-be-closed index by mistake.)
Added opcodes for all seven arithmetic operators with K operands
(that is, operands that are numbers in the array of constants of
the function). They cover the cases of constant float operands
(e.g., 'x + .0.0', 'x^0.5') and large integer operands (e.g.,
'x % 10000').
From the point of view of 'git', all names are relative to the root
directory of the project. So, file names in '$Id:' also should be
relative to that directory: the proper name for test file 'all.lua'
is 'testes/all.lua'.
