To-be-closed variables are linked in their own list, embedded into the
stack elements. (Due to alignment, this information does not change
the size of the stack elements in most architectures.) This new list
does not produce garbage and avoids memory errors when creating tbc
variables.
'luaconf.h' always defines options LUA_32BITS, LUA_C89_NUMBERS,
LUA_INT_TYPE, and LUA_FLOAT_TYPE (using 0/1 for the first two),
to avoid they being set through compiler options. (It is too easy
to forget these options when compiling other software that
interoperates with Lua.)
- 'L->top' is set once in 'luaD_hook', instead of being set in
'luaD_hookcall' and 'rethook';
- resume discard arguments when returning after an yield inside a hook
(arguments may interfere with the coroutine stack);
- yield inside a hook asserts it has no arguments.
The return hook should be called only after closing variables (which
are still part of the function). C functions were calling the hook
before the metamethods.
Completes commit b07fc10e91. '__close' metamethods can yield even
when they are being called due to an error. '__close' metamethods from
C functions are still not allowed to yield.
Initial implementation to allow yields inside '__close' metamethods.
This current version still does not allow a '__close' metamethod
to yield when called due to an error. '__close' metamethods from
C functions also are not allowed to yield.
Closing a to-be-closed variable with 'lua_settop' is too restrictive,
as it erases all slots above the variable. Moreover, it adds side
effects to 'lua_settop', which should be a fairly basic function.
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.
A to-be-closed variable is constant and it must have a close metamethod
when it is created. A program has to go out of its way (e.g., by
changing the variable's metamethod) to invalidate that check. So,
it is not worth to test that again. If the program tampers with the
metamethod, Lua will raise a regular error when attempting to call it.
Undo commit c220b0a5d0: '__close' is not called again in case of
errors. (Upvalue is removed from the list before the call.) The
common error that justified that change was C stack overflows, which
are much rarer with the stackless implementation.
* Avoids multiple definitions of 'lua_assert' in test file.
* Smaller C-stack limit in test mode.
* Note in the manual about the use of false
* Extra test for constant reuse.
References were using both 0 indices and nils as values in arrays.
Both do not fit in the concept of a sequence, which is the kind
of use that guides all Lua optimizations.
When a stack grows, its extra area can be in use, and it becomes part
of the common area. So, the extra area must be kept correct all the
times. (Bug introduced by commit 5aa36e894f5.)
The allocation of a userdata for the state of the warn system can
cause a panic if it fails; 'luaL_ref' also can fail. This commit
re-implements the warn system so that it does not need an explicit
state. Instead, the system uses different functions to represent
the different states.
Fixed the bug that a key removed from a table might not be found
again by 'next'. (This is needed to allow keys to be removed during a
traversal.) This bug was introduced in commit 73ec04fc.
Hashes for long strings are computed only when they are used as keys
in a table, not a too common case. And, in that case, it is to easy to
force collisions changing only the characters which are not part of the
hash.
