No need to limit variable declarations to 250

2025-06-18T19:45:55+00:00

Only local variables, which use registers, need this low limit.

New metatable in an all-weak table can fool the GC

2025-06-16T19:29:32+00:00

All-weak tables are not being revisited after being visited during propagation; if it gets a new metatable after that, the new metatable may not be marked.

Simpler code for 'traversetable'

2025-06-16T18:50:12+00:00

Check the mode in a separate function (getmode), instead of using comma expressions inside the 'if' condition.

Dump uses varints also for integer constants

2025-06-13T17:14:50+00:00

Unlike sizes, these constants can be negative, so it encodes those integers into unsigned integers in a way that keeps small numbers small.

The main thread cannot be closed

2025-06-13T17:08:38+00:00

No thread started with pcall (instead of resume) can be closed, because coroutine.close would not respect the expected number of results from the protected call.

A coroutine can close itself

2025-06-12T14:15:09+00:00

A call to close itself will close all its to-be-closed variables and return to the resume that (re)started the coroutine.

New way to control preambular declaration

2025-05-20T20:36:05+00:00

Validity of the preambular global declaration in controled together with all declarations, when checking variable names.

Proper error message when jumping into 'global *'

2025-05-18T15:03:54+00:00

A goto cannot jump into the scope of any variable declaration, including 'global *'. To report the error, it needs a "name" for the scope it is entering.

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".
