Hi Alex, I think it's problem of believe and the cure is simply trying it out. I'd be happy if anybody felt like supplying a JIT-tuned example to support Alex' assumption. As I said, I couldn't make

I'm sorry but I have no immediate plans to update ltokens. Too much to do, too little time... However, please find attached a version of ltokens that runs with Lua 5.1. Note that it's not just an up

Hi there, I am currently experiencing unpleasant segfaults when recursively traversing Lua tables. This is the Lua function whose return value I'd like to traverse: function foo(a) local table = { x=

Author: Rena <hyperhacker@...>

Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2014 23:06:34 -0400

The problem with that particular approach (for me) is that I do like seeing the author names. If I could alter the formatting for just Lua messages it might be okay, but I didn't see any hook to acco
