* Improved documentation for 'lua_getinfo'Roberto Ierusalimschy2021-08-111-18/+24
|
* Bug: luaL_tolstring may get confused with negative indexRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-07-223-0/+20
| | | | | When object has a '__name' metafield, 'luaL_tolstring' used the received index after pushing a string on the stack.
* Bug: Negation in 'luaV_shiftr' may overflowRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-07-222-1/+6
| | | | Negation of an unchecked lua_Integer overflows with mininteger.
* Correction on documentation of string-buffer operationsRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-07-211-4/+4
| | | | | | All string-buffer operations can potentially change the stack in unspecified ways; the push/pop documentation in the manual should reflect that.
* Simplification in the parameters of 'luaD_precall'Roberto Ierusalimschy2021-06-303-14/+24
| | | | | | The parameters 'nresults' and 'delta1', in 'luaD_precall', were never meaningful simultaneously. So, they were combined in a single parameter 'retdel'.
* Bug: 'local function' can assign to '<const>' variablesRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-06-202-0/+3
|
* C functions can be tail called, tooRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-06-144-29/+29
| | | | | A tail call to a C function can have the behavior of a "real" tail call, reusing the stack frame of the caller.
* Simpler implementation for tail callsRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-06-113-39/+33
| | | | | Tail calls handled by 'luaD_precall', like regular calls, to avoid code duplication.
* Avoid the term "undefined behavior" in the manualRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-06-091-3/+2
|
* 'index2value' more robustRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-05-241-5/+13
| | | | | 'index2value' accepts pseudo-indices also when called from a Lua function, through a hook.
* DetailsRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-05-242-14/+7
| | | | | - Removed unused (and trivial) definition LUA_UNSIGNEDBITS - Alignment structure in pack/unpack moved to a narrower scope
* Bug: yielding in '__close' mess up number of returnsRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-04-163-2/+71
| | | | | Yielding in a __close metamethod called when returning vararg results changes the top and so messes up the number of returned values.
* Align error messages for calling non-callable valuesRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-04-121-11/+37
| | | | | 'pcall(foo)' message was "attempt to call a table value", while 'pcall(function () foo() end) message was "global 'foo' is not callable".
* Bug: Lua source should not use C99 comments ("//")Roberto Ierusalimschy2021-04-101-2/+4
|
* Bug: tbc variables in "for" loops don't avoid tail callsRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-04-072-6/+38
|
* Changes in cache for function constantsRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-03-302-8/+40
| | | | | | | | In 'lcode.c', when adding constants to the list of constants of a function, integers represent themselves in the cache and floats with integral values get a small delta to avoid collision with integers. (This change avoids creating artificial addresses; the old implementation converted integers to pointers to index the cache.)
* New hash function for integer keysRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-03-291-2/+14
| | | | | | | When integer keys do not form a sequence, it is better to use all their bits to compute their hashes. (The previous implementation was quite bad for integer keys with common lower bits, and disastrous for integer keys changing only in their upper 32 bits.)
* Allow yields inside '__pairs'Roberto Ierusalimschy2021-03-292-1/+27
|
* DetailsRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-03-295-16/+32
| | | | Comments and small improvements in the manual.
* Next release number (5.4.4)Roberto Ierusalimschy2021-03-291-2/+2
|
* Added option LUA_NOBUILTINv5.4.3Roberto Ierusalimschy2021-03-121-2/+4
| | | | | This option allows external code to avoid the use of gcc builtin macro '__builtin_expect' in the Lua API.
* DetailsRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-03-121-21/+40
| | | | Comments and order of hashing macros in 'ltable.c'.
* File 'tracegc.lua' added to 'packtests'Roberto Ierusalimschy2021-03-101-0/+1
|
* New implementation for 'tbclist'Roberto Ierusalimschy2021-03-102-13/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Fixes a bug, by removing dummy nodes together with the node itself. (The previous implementation could leave dummy nodes in frames which otherwise had no tbc variables, and therefore would not close variables; that could leave 'tbclist' pointing higher than 'top', which could dangle if the stack shrank.) - Computes MAXDELTA based on the type of delta, to ease changing its type if needed. - Instead of 'isdummy', uses 'delta==0' to signal dummy nodes. (Dummy nodes always have MAXDELTA for their real delta.)
* Uses of "likely" in macros active to all usersRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-03-092-12/+15
| | | | | | | The use of 'l_likely' in auxlib macros 'luaL_argcheck' and 'luaL_argexpected' should not be restricted to Lua's own code. For that, 'l_likely' was renamed to 'luai_likely' to be exported to external code.
* lua_settop/lua_pop closes to-be-closed variablesRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-03-093-20/+44
| | | | | | The existence of 'lua_closeslot' is no reason for lua_pop not to close to-be-closed variables too. It is too error-prone for lua_pop not to close tbc variables being popped from the stack.
* Wrong assertion in 'getbaseline'Roberto Ierusalimschy2021-03-052-1/+12
| | | | | The assertion cannot compute 'f->abslineinfo[i]' when the initial estimate 'i' is -1.
* New release number (5.4.3)Roberto Ierusalimschy2021-03-032-4/+4
|
* Normalization of metamethod typography in the manualRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-03-021-10/+10
|
* Added assertions for proper use of string buffersRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-03-021-5/+17
|
* Stack check in warning function for testsRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-03-021-0/+2
| | | | | | The warning function using for tests need to check the stack before pushing anything. (Warning functions are not expected to access a Lua state, therefore they have no preallocated stack space.)
* New test module 'tracegc'Roberto Ierusalimschy2021-03-014-18/+54
| | | | New module easies the inclusion of GC tracing in individual test files.
* Stack reallocation done in two phasesRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-02-271-7/+21
| | | | | | | | | $he stack reallocation is done in two steps (allocation + free) because the correction of the pointers pointing into the stack must be done while both addresses (the old stack and the new one) are valid. In ISO C, any pointer use after the pointer has been deallocated is undefined behavior. The compiler option '-fsanitize=pointer-subtract' (plus what it needs to work) complained about the old implementation.
* New control for reentrancy of emergency collectionsRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-02-265-25/+46
| | | | | | Instead of assuming that shrinking a block may be an emergency collection, use an explicit field ('gcstopem') to stop emergency collections while GC is working.
* Bug (kind of) in 'isinstack'Roberto Ierusalimschy2021-02-252-6/+17
| | | | | | | The function 'isinstack' tried to work around the undefined behavior of subtracting two pointers that do not point to the same object, but the compiler killed to trick. (It optimizes out the safety check, because in a correct execution it will be always true.)
* Don't use tointegerns when luaV_tointegerns will doRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-02-243-4/+10
| | | | | | | | Some places don't need the "fast path" macro tointegerns, either because speed is not essential (lcode.c) or because the value is not supposed to be an integer already (luaV_equalobj and luaG_tointerror). Moreover, luaV_equalobj should always use F2Ieq, even if Lua is compiled to "round to floor".
* DetailsRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-02-242-9/+9
| | | | | Added documentation and asserts that constants for arithmetic opcodes must be numbers.
* Broadening the use of branch hintsRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-02-2424-141/+162
| | | | | | More uses of macros 'likely'/'unlikely' (renamed to 'l_likely'/'l_unlikely'), both in range (extended to the libraries) and in scope (extended to hooks, stack growth).
* Bug: 'string.concat' error message uses wrong formatRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-02-152-1/+4
|
* Bug: cannot allow the call 'debug.getinfo(0, ">")'Roberto Ierusalimschy2021-02-152-0/+2
| | | | | | A 'what' argument starting with '>' indicates that there is a function in the C stack, which won't be there if the first argument is not a function.
* '__close' methods can yield in the return of a C functionRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-02-125-34/+131
| | | | | | | When, inside a coroutine, a C function with to-be-closed slots return, the corresponding metamethods can yield. ('__close' metamethods called through 'lua_closeslot' still cannot yield, as there is no continuation to go when resuming.)
* Eases the use of clang in the makefileRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-02-101-4/+9
| | | | | New definition in the makefile for warnings that are valid for gcc but not for clang (CWARNGCC).
* New implementation for to-be-closed variablesRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-02-0910-66/+103
| | | | | | | | To-be-closed variables are linked in their own list, embedded into the stack elements. (Due to alignment, this information does not change the size of the stack elements in most architectures.) This new list does not produce garbage and avoids memory errors when creating tbc variables.
* New macro 'completestate'Roberto Ierusalimschy2021-02-054-7/+11
|
* Forbid changing numerical types through compiler optionsRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-02-051-41/+42
| | | | | | | | 'luaconf.h' always defines options LUA_32BITS, LUA_C89_NUMBERS, LUA_INT_TYPE, and LUA_FLOAT_TYPE (using 0/1 for the first two), to avoid they being set through compiler options. (It is too easy to forget these options when compiling other software that interoperates with Lua.)
* Fixed some bugs around stack reallocationRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-02-054-1/+6
| | | | Long time without using HARDSTACKTESTS...
* Optimization/simplification of 'getbaseline'Roberto Ierusalimschy2021-02-023-24/+19
| | | | | By producing absolute line information at regular intervals, a simple division can compute the correct entry for a given instruction.
* Optimizations for line hookRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-01-284-33/+47
| | | | | The function 'changedline' tries harder to avoid calling 'luaG_getfuncline' plus small changes in the use of 'L->oldpc'.
* Small improvements in hooksRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-01-262-9/+30
| | | | | | | | | | - 'L->top' is set once in 'luaD_hook', instead of being set in 'luaD_hookcall' and 'rethook'; - resume discard arguments when returning after an yield inside a hook (arguments may interfere with the coroutine stack); - yield inside a hook asserts it has no arguments.
* Janitorial workRoberto Ierusalimschy2021-01-254-26/+45
