* Details in commentsRoberto Ierusalimschy2020-05-072-2/+2

* Back to old encoding of versions in binary filesRoberto Ierusalimschy2020-05-065-6/+11
| | | | | | (Undoing part of commit f53eabeed8.) It is better to keep this encoding stable, so that all Lua versions can read at least the version of a binary file.
* C-Stack test does not assume minimum of 400 slotsRoberto Ierusalimschy2020-05-041-17/+26
|
* DetailsRoberto Ierusalimschy2020-04-301-5/+9
| | | | | When in test mode (#include "tests.h"), force Lua to use its own implementation of 'lua_strx2number' and 'lua_number2strx' to test them.
* Fixed warning about casts between function pointersRoberto Ierusalimschy2020-04-291-1/+8
| | | | | | gcc now warns (with -Wextra) about casts between pointers to different function types. The type 'void(*)(void)' works as a 'void*' for function pointers, cleaning the warning.
* Several details about 5.4.0 rc1Roberto Ierusalimschy2020-04-2312-24/+22
| | | | | Corrected several small details: added 'const', adjusts in tabs x spaces, removed unused #includes and #defines, misspellings, etc.
* Small issue in 'exprstat'Roberto Ierusalimschy2020-04-231-1/+2
| | | | | | | The code should not compute an instruction address before checking that it exists. (Virtually no machine complains of computing an invalid address, as long as the address is not used, but for ISO C that is undefined behavior.)
* Added 'simplesect' sections to the manualRoberto Ierusalimschy2020-04-135-6/+56
| | | | | | | 'simplesect' encloses the introductory text of sections with subsections, so that each section either is all text or is all subsections. (This commit also corrects a small brace error in the manual and extra spaces/tabs in some other files.)
* Improvements in the manualRoberto Ierusalimschy2020-04-101-46/+64
| | | | | Several small improvements, in particular a new subsection consolidating all status codes in the API.
* Short strings always use all bytes in the hashRoberto Ierusalimschy2020-04-013-7/+10
| | | | | | Collisions in short strings occurr just by their existence, when internalizing them. (Collisions in long strings is caused/controlled by the program, when adding them as keys to the same table.)
* Fixed bug in 'string.format("%p")'Roberto Ierusalimschy2020-03-163-8/+19
| | | | | The string "(null)" used for non-collectable values must be printed as a string, not as a pointer. (Bug introduced in commit e0cbaa50fa7).
* Fixed "conceptual" bug in 'luaK_setreturns'Roberto Ierusalimschy2020-03-022-5/+5
| | | | | | | | This function was computing invalid instruction addresses when the expression was not a multi-return instruction. (Virtually all machines don't raise errors when computing an invalid address, as long as the address is not accessed, but this computation is undefined behavior in ISO C.)
* Corrected direct use of 'snprintf' in 'lstrlib.c'Roberto Ierusalimschy2020-02-281-1/+1
|
* Code style in 'ldump'/'lundump'.Roberto Ierusalimschy2020-02-272-149/+149
| | | | | - function names start with lower case; - state is always the first parameter.
* DetailsRoberto Ierusalimschy2020-02-2713-45/+52
| | | | | Several details in code (e.g., moving a variable to the most inner scope that encloses its uses), comments, parameter names, extra tests.
* OP_LOADFALSE broken in two instructionsRoberto Ierusalimschy2020-02-116-6/+14
|
* Tag values don't need to be different from type valuesRoberto Ierusalimschy2020-01-311-18/+19
| | | | Variants can use zero for first variant.
* Clearer distinction between types and tagsRoberto Ierusalimschy2020-01-3122-212/+230
| | | | | LUA_T* represents only types; tags (types + Variants) are represented by LUA_V* constants.
* New macro 'makevariant' to codify variant tagsRoberto Ierusalimschy2020-01-061-11/+14
|
* Changed internal representation of booleansRoberto Ierusalimschy2020-01-0614-52/+87
| | | | | | | Instead of an explicit value (field 'b'), true and false use different tag variants. This avoids reading an extra field and results in more direct code. (Most code that uses booleans needs to distinguish between true and false anyway.)
* Fixed bug in 'aux_rawset'Roberto Ierusalimschy2019-12-301-1/+1
| | | | | In 'aux_rawset', top must be decremented after the barrier, which refers to top-1. (Bug introduced in commit c646e57fd.)
* Comments (mosty typos)Roberto Ierusalimschy2019-12-3015-21/+28
|
* Copyright year changed to 2020Roberto Ierusalimschy2019-12-272-3/+3
|
* Joined common code in 'lua_rawset' and 'lua_rawsetp'Roberto Ierusalimschy2019-12-173-21/+23
|
* Easy way to allow Unicode characters in identifiersRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-12-171-16/+25
| | | | For those that want to try it...
* Added test for NULL in string.format("%p")Roberto Ierusalimschy2019-12-171-0/+2
| | | | | | ISO C states that standard library functions should not be called with NULL arguments, unless stated otherwise. 'sprintf' does not state otherwise, and it doesn't hurt to be on the safe side.
* Small correction in assertionRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-12-132-2/+2
|
* Comment about LUA_COMPAT_LT_LE moved to proper placeRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-12-102-6/+12
|
* Simplifications in 'op_arith*' family of macrosRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-12-051-47/+27
|
* Using an enumeration for float->integer coercion modesRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-12-054-22/+30
|
* 'l_mathlim' renamed to 'l_floatatt'Roberto Ierusalimschy2019-12-054-8/+8
| | | | That macro is applied to float attributes, not to limits.
* Better comments about the use of 'k' in opcodesRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-12-052-30/+34
|
* Manual a little more clear about string->number coersionsRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-12-051-16/+25
|
* Code reorganization for opcodes OP_FORPREP and OP_FORLOOPRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-12-041-75/+116
| | | | | Parts of the code for opcodes OP_FORPREP and OP_FORLOOP were moved to functions outside the interpreter loop.
* Removed some wrong commentsRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-11-281-8/+6
| | | | | Both 'tonumber' and 'tointeger' cannot change the out parameter when the conversion fails.
* More generic pattern when testing 'string.format'Roberto Ierusalimschy2019-11-221-2/+2
| | | | | The result of 'string.format("%a", 0.0)' can have multiple zeros after the dot.
* DetailsRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-11-186-15/+16
|
* Using 'metavalues' for "metamethods" that are not methodsRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-11-081-21/+26
| | | | | | Several "metamethods" are not required to be methods (functions), so it seems clearer not to call them metamethods. The manual now uses the word 'metavalue' for those values.
* Comments in 'lopcodes.h'Roberto Ierusalimschy2019-11-071-92/+92
| | | | | Both 'R' and 'K' are arrays, so the comments should use square brackets to index them.
* File 'bugs' no longer tracked by gitRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-10-301-4052/+0
| | | | | | | The file 'bugs' reports bugs in several different versions (corresponding to different branches in the repository), without a clear division of "this bugs belongs to this version". So, it doesn't make sense to track it along with one (or many) versions.
* Fixed bug in tail calls of __call chainsRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-10-282-2/+26
| | | | | A tail call of a __call chain (a __call metamethod that itself is also not a function) was being perfomed as a regular call.
* Fixed warnings from Keil compilerRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-10-252-7/+4
|
* Change in the prefix of messages from searchersRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-10-242-5/+32
| | | | | | The initial "\n\t" to properly indent a searcher message is being added by 'findloader' when building the error message, instead of being included in the original message by each searcher itself.
* Added function 'luaL_buffsub'Roberto Ierusalimschy2019-10-232-9/+19
|
* Several enhancements in the manualRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-10-231-43/+54
|
* More pious implementation of 'string.dump'Roberto Ierusalimschy2019-10-231-8/+24
| | | | | | | In 'str__dump', the call to 'lua_dump' assumes the function is on the top of the stack, but the manual allows 'luaL_buffinit' to push stuff on the stack (although the current implementation does not). So, the call to 'luaL_buffinit' must come after the call to 'lua_dump'.
* Changed definition of macro 'l_isfalse'Roberto Ierusalimschy2019-10-221-1/+1
| | | | | | The old definition did one test for nil, but three tests for the all too common booleans (and two tests for other values); this definition does two tests for all values.
* Details (mostly comments)Roberto Ierusalimschy2019-10-224-9/+28
|
* Larger C-stack limits for new threadsRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-10-171-1/+1
| | | | | | New threads were being created with very small C-stack limits. This is not a problem for coroutines, because 'lua_resume' sets a new limit, but not all threads are coroutines.
* Easy redefinition of valid flags for 'string.format'Roberto Ierusalimschy2019-10-171-3/+6
