Bug: wrong initialization in result from 'gmatch'

2026-04-01T18:01:58+00:00

Function returned by 'string.gmatch' can be left in an inconsistent state after an error.

Variable attributes can prefix name list

2025-05-18T14:43:43+00:00

In this format, the attribute applies to all names in the list; e.g. "global print, require, math".

Collective declaration for globals ('global *')

Details (typos in comments)

Removed copyright notice from 'testes/all.lua'

2025-03-12T17:00:58+00:00

Corrections in comments and manual. Added note in the manual about local variables in the REPL.

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.

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'.

Small optimizations in 'string.gsub'

2019-04-11T14:29:16+00:00

Avoid creating extra strings when possible: - avoid creating new resulting string when subject was not modified (instead, return the subject itself); - avoid creating strings representing the captured substrings when handling replacements like '%1' (instead, add the substring directly to the buffer).
