361. Re: Cross-platform newlines in multiline strings (score: 32)

Author: RLake@...

anything Well, it would break any script that had a \r in a string :) (Or whatever \r happens to be on your OS.) That is maybe a bad idea, but in principle you can put random binary strings into a L

"cyclic artithmetic" is synonym for "modular arithmetic" (arithmetic over Z/nZ fields, where n is a finite integer and the division is inversible, unlike arithmetic on Z, Q, R or C with infinite boun

Author: Petri Häkkinen <petrih3@...>

Nope, there is no such problem. The beauty of a separate array subtype is that regular tables are not affected by the existence of the array type. pairs() and ipairs() work just like they did for tab

365. Re: 'table' as fallback for tables (score: 31)

Author: Coda Highland <chighland@...>

Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2016 17:18:47 -0700

My biggest hesitation with declaring {1,2,3} as an explicit array constructor is that it would break existing code that relies on pairs() to iterate over sparse "arrays" if an unexpected "n" member w

Here's an update. iFollowing a suggestion from Mike Pall, I changed the patch so that now it reverts, rather than tries to merge, the Attached now are _two_ patches against the original patch file: h

OK, I've done the grunt work of updating the Resumable VM patch against the Lua5.1.4 sources. What I've ended up with compiles and runs the test/ directory in the Lua5.1.4 sources without crashing. B

Author: David Morris-Oliveros <david.morrisoliveros@...>

Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2006 09:56:03 +1100

This won't work 100%. Namely, it won't do boolean values (since they can't be coerced), and also, you modify the stack if there's a number that's converted to a string. // David Morris-Oliveros // Ca

Hi guys, In our recent debates about OOP styles in Lua some people didn't like saying 'self' to qualify object fields all the time. The quick way to dispose with self is to use setfenv() to set the l

Hello, The documentation for luaL_loadfilex specifies that it'll return LUA_ERRFILE when the file has the wrong mode: "This function returns the same results as lua_load, but it has an extra error co

Hi Egor, You're right about escaping \n; I was thinking about the case when you need your %q output to be on one line. EOF breaks the content this way: -- eof.lua print(("print %q"):format("1\n2\0263

The recent thread about lists and nil got me thinking about the ways in which nil isn't a first-class data type in Lua. Of course, the focus of that thread was on sparse arrays and vararg lists. I've
