lua/testes/files.lua, branch v5.4.9

More control over encoding of test files

2023-08-17T13:42:56+00:00

The few UTF-8 test files are commented as such, and there is only one non UTF-8 test file (to test non UTF-8 sources).

Avoid excessive name pollution in test files

2022-12-28T21:34:11+00:00

Test files are more polite regarding the use of globals when locals would do, and when globals are necessary deleting them after use.

Small simplification in overflow check in 'getfield'

2022-09-23T13:57:35+00:00

Subtracting a small non-negative int from a non-negative int cannot overflow, and adding a non-negative int to INT_MIN cannot overflow.

Fixed bug: invalid mode can crash 'io.popen'

2020-07-15T19:01:03+00:00

Added macro 'luaL_pushfail'

2019-08-16T17:58:02+00:00

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'.

Change in the syntax of attributes

2019-07-30T15:18:19+00:00

Attributes changed to posfixed ('x ', instead of ' x'), and "toclose" renamed to "close". Posfixed attributes seem to make it clearer that it applies to only one variable when there are multiple variables.

Some improvements in date/time functions

2019-07-24T18:01:59+00:00

- Range in date table extended to full 32 bits. - Easier support for times represented as floats. - Added more tests.

Details

2019-07-10T17:58:31+00:00

In the generic for loop, it is simpler for OP_TFORLOOP to use the same 'ra' as OP_TFORCALL. Moreover, the internal names of the loop temporaries "(for ...)" don't need to leak internal details (even because the numerical for loop doesn't have a fixed role for each of its temporaries).

First implementation for 'const' variables

2019-05-17T14:11:44+00:00

A variable can be declared const, which means it cannot be assigned to, with the syntax 'local name = exp'.

Flag for to-be-closed variables changed to ''

2019-05-09T15:10:31+00:00

The flag for to-be-closed variables was changed from '*toclose' to ''. Several people found confusing the old syntax and the new one has a clear terminator, making it more flexible for future changes.
