* Tag LUA_TUPVALTBC replaced by a flagRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-07-191-3/+1
| | | | | It is simpler to signal a to-be-closed upvalue with a boolean flag, instead of using a different tag.
* DetailsRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-07-181-5/+5
| | | | | | | - Macro 'checkliveness' (for debug) always uses 'L', to avoid warnings. - Some old 'while' changed to 'for' in 'testes/gc.lua'. - In 'testes/libs/makefile', do not make files depend on 'ltests.h', which may not even exist.
* OP_NEWTABLE keeps exact size of arraysRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-07-121-2/+0
| | | | | | OP_NEWTABLE is followed by an OP_EXTRAARG, so that it can keep the exact size of the array part of the table to be created. (Functions 'luaO_int2fb'/'luaO_fb2int' were removed.)
* First implementation of constant propagationRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-07-121-1/+1
| | | | | Local constant variables initialized with compile-time constants are optimized away from the code.
* New implementation for constantsRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-07-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | VLOCAL expressions keep a reference to their corresponding 'Vardesc', and 'Upvaldesc' (for upvalues) has a field 'ro' (read-only). So, it is easier to check whether a variable is read-only. The decoupling in VLOCAL between 'vidx' ('Vardesc' index) and 'sidx' (stack index) should also help the forthcoming implementation of compile-time constant propagation.
* Added field 'srclen' to structure 'lua_Debug'Roberto Ierusalimschy2019-04-041-1/+1
| | | | | | This new field gets the length of 'source' in the same structure. Unlike the other strings in that structure, 'source' can be relatively large, and Lua already has its length readily available.
* Strings inside Lua are not fully alignedRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-03-131-9/+1
| | | | | | Removed code to ensure that strings inside Lua (as returned by 'lua_tolstring') always start in fully aligned addresses. Since version 5.3 the documentation does not ensure that.
* Removed internal cache for closuresRoberto Ierusalimschy2018-11-011-2/+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.)
* Towards "to closed" local variablesRoberto Ierusalimschy2018-10-081-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | Start of the implementation of "scoped variables" or "to be closed" variables, local variables whose '__close' (or themselves) are called when they go out of scope. This commit implements the syntax, the opcode, and the creation of the corresponding upvalue, but it still does not call the finalizations when the variable goes out of scope (the most important part). Currently, the syntax is 'local scoped name = exp', but that will probably change.
* 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.

* field 'sizearray' in struct 'Table' changed to 'alimit', which canRoberto Ierusalimschy2018-06-151-2/+15
| | | | be used as a hint for '#t'
* no more 'luaO_nilobject' to avoid comparison of global variable addressesRoberto Ierusalimschy2018-06-011-7/+1
| | | | (now uses static variables)
* no more 'luaH_emptyobject' and comparisons of addresses of global variablesRoberto Ierusalimschy2018-06-011-8/+28
| | | | | (instead, use a different kind of nil to signal the fake entry returned when a key is not found in a table)

* no more 'DEADKEY'. Table traversals do not need to consider dead keys;Roberto Ierusalimschy2017-06-121-10/+12
| | | | | | if the key is dead, it cannot be given to 'next'. Instead, we now use a 'table' tag without the collectable bit, which makes it a unique tag good enough to reserve space.
