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

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.

Detail in 'testes/math.lua'

Added a print with the random seeds used in the tests of 'random'.

Details

2020-02-27T15:59:22+00:00

Several details in code (e.g., moving a variable to the most inner scope that encloses its uses), comments, parameter names, extra tests.

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.

'math.randomseed' always returns the two seed components

2019-07-19T16:31:53+00:00

'math.randomseed()' returns the seeds it used

2019-07-17T19:00:24+00:00

A call to 'math.randomseed()' returns the two components of the seed it set, so that they can be used to set that same seed again.

First implementation of constant propagation

2019-07-12T14:38:42+00:00

Local constant variables initialized with compile-time constants are optimized away from the code.

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'.
