Author: Mike Pall <mikelu-0510@...>

Hi, it seems to be a common idiom to use string.gsub in combination with a substitution table. Currently this requires adding a trivial function every time: local subst = { foo = "abc", bar = "xyz" }

Hi, In Lua5.3.0-work2 math.random does not support the max integer value. A range larger than the max integer is also not supported [1]. Reading Lua source code that's something new in lmathlib.c due

You are right. This is how I ended up solving it (note the LUA_NUMBER_INTEGER define): case 'd': case 'i': { lua_Number n = luaL_checknumber(L, arg); luaL_argcheck(L, (MIN_INTFRM - 1) < n && n < (MA

Oops, that must be Snow Leopard? Sorry, but most of my changes for OSX are guesswork, because I don't have an OSX machine. Looks like something is wrong with the MACH-O/DWARF2 frame unwind info. That

Attached is a simple patch to lua.c that adds a switch -t (think Perl) to ignore LUA_INIT and set the _PATH variables to their built-in defaults. Unlike Perl's -t, there's no general taint support, b
