2019-12-04Code reorganization for opcodes OP_FORPREP and OP_FORLOOPRoberto Ierusalimschy1-75/+116
Parts of the code for opcodes OP_FORPREP and OP_FORLOOP were moved to functions outside the interpreter loop.
2019-11-28Removed some wrong commentsRoberto Ierusalimschy1-8/+6
Both 'tonumber' and 'tointeger' cannot change the out parameter when the conversion fails.
2019-11-22More generic pattern when testing 'string.format'Roberto Ierusalimschy1-2/+2
The result of 'string.format("%a", 0.0)' can have multiple zeros after the dot.

2019-11-08Using 'metavalues' for "metamethods" that are not methodsRoberto Ierusalimschy1-21/+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.
2019-11-07Comments in 'lopcodes.h'Roberto Ierusalimschy1-92/+92
Both 'R' and 'K' are arrays, so the comments should use square brackets to index them.
2019-10-30File 'bugs' no longer tracked by gitRoberto Ierusalimschy1-4052/+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.
2019-10-28Fixed bug in tail calls of __call chainsRoberto Ierusalimschy2-2/+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.
2019-10-25Fixed warnings from Keil compilerRoberto Ierusalimschy2-7/+4
2019-10-24Change in the prefix of messages from searchersRoberto Ierusalimschy2-5/+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.
2019-10-23Added function 'luaL_buffsub'Roberto Ierusalimschy2-9/+19
2019-10-23Several enhancements in the manualRoberto Ierusalimschy1-43/+54
2019-10-23More pious implementation of 'string.dump'Roberto Ierusalimschy1-8/+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'.
2019-10-22Changed definition of macro 'l_isfalse'Roberto Ierusalimschy1-1/+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.
2019-10-22Details (mostly comments)Roberto Ierusalimschy4-9/+28
2019-10-17Larger C-stack limits for new threadsRoberto Ierusalimschy1-1/+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.
2019-10-17Easy redefinition of valid flags for 'string.format'Roberto Ierusalimschy1-3/+6
2019-10-08Improvements in the manual around metamethodsv5.4-betaRoberto Ierusalimschy1-35/+42
2019-10-08No coercion string->number in arithmetic with LUA_NOCVTS2NRoberto Ierusalimschy1-0/+13
2019-10-08Makefile compiles the Lua compiler with '-Os'Roberto Ierusalimschy1-0/+10
The performance of the Lua compiler is not critical for Lua performance, but it is a big component in the source. So, it makes sense to trade speed for size in this component.
2019-10-04Fixed a warning and other minor issuesRoberto Ierusalimschy6-8/+9
Fixed some minor issues from the feedback for 5.4-beta rc1.
2019-10-02Script 'packtests' gets Lua version as a parameterRoberto Ierusalimschy1-1/+3
2019-10-01Janitorial workRoberto Ierusalimschy4-58/+62
- Several details in 'lcode.c' - A few more tests for code generation - Bug in assert in 'lcode.c' ("=" x "==") - Comments in 'lopcodes.h' and 'ltable.c'
2019-09-24Details in the makefile (warning options)Roberto Ierusalimschy1-8/+8
2019-09-24Subtraction of small constant integers optimized with OP_ADDIRoberto Ierusalimschy4-31/+46
2019-09-24'setCstacklimit' renamed to 'setcstacklimit'Roberto Ierusalimschy5-23/+23
Function names in the API use only lowercase letters.
2019-09-19Janitorial work in 'lcode.c'Roberto Ierusalimschy2-38/+33
2019-09-11Simplification in the call to 'constfolding'Roberto Ierusalimschy2-17/+21
2019-09-10Removed arithmetic opcodes with immediate operandRoberto Ierusalimschy7-65/+17
The difference in performance between immediate operands and K operands does not seem to justify all those extra opcodes. We only keep OP_ADDI, due to its ubiquity and because the difference is a little more relevant. (Later, OP_SUBI will be implemented by OP_ADDI, negating the constant.)
2019-09-06Added macro 'testMMMode'Roberto Ierusalimschy3-94/+95
Macro 'testMMMode' checks whether opcode is an MM opcode.
2019-08-29Undo change in the handling of 'L->top' (commit b80077b8f3)Roberto Ierusalimschy4-16/+9
With MMBIN instructions, there are fewer opcodes that need to update 'L->top', so that change does not seem to pay for the increased complexity.
2019-08-28Use of 'MMBIN' opcodes extended to shift operatorsRoberto Ierusalimschy5-87/+60
Plus, this commit removes useless 'tm' parameters in 'op_*' macros.
2019-08-27First version of OP_MMBIN opcodesRoberto Ierusalimschy11-104/+132
In arithmetic/bitwise operators, the call to metamethods is made in a separate opcode following the main one. (The main opcode skips this next one when the operation succeeds.) This change reduces slightly the size of the binary and the complexity of the arithmetic/bitwise opcodes. It also simplfies the treatment of errors and yeld/resume in these operations, as there are much fewer cases to consider. (Only OP_MMBIN/OP_MMBINI/OP_MMBINK, instead of all variants of all arithmetic/bitwise operators.)
2019-08-27Fixed missing case in 'luaV_finishOp'Roberto Ierusalimschy2-1/+7
A metamethod call like '1 << a' was not being properly resumed if it got yielded.
2019-08-21Fixed bug when yiedling inside OP_ADDK opcodeRoberto Ierusalimschy2-0/+14
The family of opcodes OP_ADDK (arithmetic operators with K constant) were not being handled in 'luaV_finishOp', which completes their task after an yield.
2019-08-20Default for warnings changed to "off"Roberto Ierusalimschy10-17/+23
Warnings are mostly a tool to help developers (e.g., by showing hidden error messages); regular users usually don't need to see them.
2019-08-19Detail (extra test for warnings when closing state)Roberto Ierusalimschy1-0/+11
2019-08-18Improvement in warn-mode '@store' (for testing)Roberto Ierusalimschy5-31/+55
When using warn-mode '@store', from the test library, the tests ensure not only that the expected warnings were issued, but also that there was no extra warnings.
2019-08-16Manual corrected with the new syntax for attributesRoberto Ierusalimschy1-5/+5
Commit 0d529138042, with the change in the syntax of attributes, did not update the manual accordingly.
2019-08-16Added macro 'luaL_pushfail'Roberto Ierusalimschy20-154/+176
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'.
2019-08-16Supressed errors in '__close' generate warningsRoberto Ierusalimschy10-43/+164
2019-08-15Added control messages to warningsRoberto Ierusalimschy9-49/+161
Added the concept of control messages to the warning system, plus the implementation of the controls "@on"/"@off" to turn warnings on/off. Moreover, the warning system in the test library adds some other controls to ease the test of warnings.
2019-08-12Small optimization in 'convergeephemerons'Roberto Ierusalimschy1-9/+20
When converging marks on ephemeron tables, change the direction the tables are traversed at each iteration, to try to avoid bad-case scenarios with linked lists of entries in a table.
2019-08-12Detail in the manual (method 'file:setvbuf')Roberto Ierusalimschy1-16/+8
ANSI C is vague about 'setvbuf'; most details are implementation defined. So, the manual cannot give any guaranties, either.
2019-08-01DetailsRoberto Ierusalimschy2-8/+13
- removed rule about RCS from makefile - comments and nitpicking in 'llex.c'
2019-07-31Correction in the documentation of 'io.lines'Roberto Ierusalimschy2-7/+5
The loop does not end on end of file, but when the iterator function fails to read a value. (In particular, the format "a" never fails, so a loop with 'io.lines(fname, "a")' never ends.)
2019-07-31Tracebacks recognize metamethods '__close'Roberto Ierusalimschy2-4/+20
2019-07-31To-be-closed variables must be closed on initializationRoberto Ierusalimschy6-41/+70
When initializing a to-be-closed variable, check whether it has a '__close' metamethod (or is a false value) and raise an error if if it hasn't. This produces more accurate error messages. (The check before closing still need to be done: in the C API, the value is not constant; and the object may lose its '__close' metamethod during the block.)
2019-07-30Fixed test in 'main.lua'Roberto Ierusalimschy1-7/+10
The test "to-be-closed variables in main chunk" was broken, as it used the removed feature of functions as to-be-closed values. The error was not detected because its expected result had no lines to be checked (due to missing new lines).
2019-07-30Change in the syntax of attributesRoberto Ierusalimschy11-102/+103
Attributes changed to posfixed ('x <const>', instead of '<const> 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.
