* Small changes in macros that change GC colorsRoberto Ierusalimschy2020-08-131-11/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | - Macro 'gray2black' was renamed 'nw2black' (Non-White to black), as it was already being used on objects that could be already black. - Macros 'white2gray' and 'black2gray' were unified in 'set2gray'; no reason to have two macros when one will do and, again, 'black2gray' was already being used on objects that could be already gray. Moreover, macros 'maskcolors' and 'maskgcbits' were negated to have ones in the described bits, instead of zeros. (This naming seems more intuitive.)
* Better tests for gray listsRoberto Ierusalimschy2020-08-071-1/+4
| | | | | Test uses an extra bit in 'marked' to mark all elements in gray lists and then check against elements colored gray.
* Free bit 7 of GC 'marked' fieldRoberto Ierusalimschy2020-08-071-2/+1
| | | | | | | | Tables were using this bit to indicate their array sizes were real ('isrealasize'), but this bit can be useful for tests. Instead, they can use bit 7 of their 'flag' field for that purpose. (There are only six fast-access metamethods.) This 'flag' field only exists in tables, so this use does not affect other types.
* Avoid the creation of too many strings in 'package'Roberto Ierusalimschy2019-05-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Both when setting a path and searching for a file ('searchpath'), this commit reduces the number of intermediate strings created in Lua. (For setting a path the change is not relevant, because this is done only twice when loading the module. Anyway, it is a nice example of how to use auxlib buffers to manipulate strings in the C API.)
* After a "bad collections", avoid switching back back to generationalRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-01-301-1/+8
| | | | | | | After a major bad collection (one that collects too few objects), next collection will be major again. In that case, avoid switching back to generational mode (as it will have to switch again to incremental to do next major collection).
* Removed internal cache for closuresRoberto Ierusalimschy2018-11-011-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The mechanism of "caching the last closure created for a prototype to try to reuse it the next time a closure for that prototype is created" was removed. There are several reasons: - It is hard to find a natural example where this cache has a measurable impact on performance. - Programmers already perceive closure creation as something slow, so they tend to avoid it inside hot paths. (Any case where the cache could reuse a closure can be rewritten predefining the closure in some variable and using that variable.) - The implementation was somewhat complex, due to a bad interaction with the generational collector. (Typically, new closures are new, while prototypes are old. So, the cache breaks the invariant that old objects should not point to new ones.)
* Removed extra information from RCS keyword stringsRoberto Ierusalimschy2018-08-231-1/+1
| | | | | Version numbers and dates (mostly wrong) from RCS keyword strings removed from all source files; only the file name are kept.

| | | | 'twups' list
* change in the way 'collectgarbage("step", size)' interprets 'size'Roberto Ierusalimschy2014-02-141-2/+1
