* No more to-be-closed functionsRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-01-041-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To-be-closed variables must contain objects with '__toclose' metamethods (or nil). Functions were removed for several reasons: * Functions interact badly with sandboxes. If a sandbox raises an error to interrupt a script, a to-be-closed function still can hijack control and continue running arbitrary sandboxed code. * Functions interact badly with coroutines. If a coroutine yields and is never resumed again, its to-be-closed functions will never run. To-be-closed objects, on the other hand, will still be closed, provided they have appropriate finalizers. * If you really need a function, it is easy to create a dummy object to run that function in its '__toclose' metamethod. This comit also adds closing of variables in case of panic.
* No more LUA_ERRGCMM errorsRoberto Ierusalimschy2019-01-011-19/+9
| | | | | Errors in finalizers (__gc metamethods) are never propagated. Instead, they generate a warning.
* Added a warning system to LuaRoberto Ierusalimschy2018-12-281-0/+14
| | | | | The warning system is just a way for Lua to emit warnings, messages to the programmer that do not interfere with the running program.
* A to-be-closed variable must have a closable value (or be nil)Roberto Ierusalimschy2018-11-291-7/+14
| | | | | | | It is an error for a to-be-closed variable to have a non-closable non-nil value when it is being closed. This situation does not seem to be useful and often hints to an error. (Particularly in the C API, it is easy to change a to-be-closed index by mistake.)
* 'lua_toclose' gets the index to be closed as an argumentRoberto Ierusalimschy2018-11-121-8/+10
| | | | | | Sometimes it is useful to mark to-be-closed an index that is not at the top of the stack (e.g., if the value to be closed came from a function call returning multiple values).
* New syntax for to-be-closed variablesRoberto Ierusalimschy2018-11-071-6/+6
| | | | | | | The new syntax is <local *toclose x = f()>. The mark '*' allows other attributes to be added later without the need of new keywords; it also allows better error messages. The API function was also renamed ('lua_tobeclosed' -> 'lua_toclose').
* To-be-closed variables in the C APIRoberto Ierusalimschy2018-10-251-0/+71

* Removed extra information from RCS keyword strings in testsRoberto Ierusalimschy2018-10-221-1/+1
| | | | | Version numbers and dates (mostly wrong) from RCS keyword strings removed from all test files; only the file name are kept.
* First "complete" implementation of to-be-closed variablesRoberto Ierusalimschy2018-10-171-1/+13
| | | | | | | Still missing: - handling of memory errors when creating upvalue (must run closing method all the same) - interaction with coroutines
* Added directory to test file names in '$Id:'Roberto Ierusalimschy2018-07-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | From the point of view of 'git', all names are relative to the root directory of the project. So, file names in '$Id:' also should be relative to that directory: the proper name for test file 'all.lua' is 'testes/all.lua'.
* Added manual and tests for version 5.4-w2Roberto Ierusalimschy2018-07-091-0/+1264
