The parser were mixing compiler indices of variables with stack indices,
so that when a to-be-closed variable was used inside the scope of
compile-time constants (which may be optimized away), it might be closed
in the wrong place. (See new tests for examples.)
Besides fixing the bugs, this commit also changed comments and variable
names to avoid that kind of confusion and added tests.
String literal expressions have their own kind VKSTR, instead of the
generic VK. This allows strings to "cross" functions without entering
their constant tables (e.g., if they are used only by some nested
function).
This commit detaches the number of active variables from the
number of variables in the stack, during compilation. Soon,
compile-time constants will be propagated and therefore will
not exist during run time (in the stack).
VLOCAL expressions keep a reference to their corresponding 'Vardesc',
and 'Upvaldesc' (for upvalues) has a field 'ro' (read-only). So, it is
easier to check whether a variable is read-only. The decoupling in
VLOCAL between 'vidx' ('Vardesc' index) and 'sidx' (stack index)
should also help the forthcoming implementation of compile-time
constant propagation.
Removed the field 'name' from the structure 'Vardesc', as the name
of the local variable is already available in the prototype of the
function, through the index 'idx'.
Added restriction that, when a label is created, there cannot be
another label with the same name visible. That allows backward goto's
to be resolved when they are read. Backward goto's get a close if
they jump out of the scope of some variable; labels get a close only
if previous goto to it jumps out of the scope of some upvalue.
Start of the implementation of "scoped variables" or "to be closed"
variables, local variables whose '__close' (or themselves) are called
when they go out of scope. This commit implements the syntax, the
opcode, and the creation of the corresponding upvalue, but it still
does not call the finalizations when the variable goes out of scope
(the most important part).
Currently, the syntax is 'local scoped name = exp', but that will
probably change.
values, so that the array can use bytes instead of ints, reducing
its size. (A new array 'abslineinfo' is used when line differences
do not fit in a byte.)
