Indeed you could; my phrasing should have been "compulsory if you want verification". It certainly could, but LoadInt is also frequently called during the undumping process and the result passed on t

Thanks Roberto, From my perspective, the preceding has little advantage over putting the stuff from break :process_item to end in an if statement -- both involve an extra level of nesting. My right a

The sarcastic story as far I read it, the lua gods are waiting for a scintillation how to solve it in a general way. So far this has not yet happened. Maybe the holy ghost does its job one day, and w

It sounded to me like he meant that if a return or break occurs in the _finally_ block, and an error causes the finally-block to be executed, then that return/break will cause the error not to be ret

A nice and clean way of doing it, though (in C) is: void *a = NULL, *b = NULL, *c = NULL, *d = NULL; a = foo(); if(!a) goto error; b = foo(); if(!c) goto error; c = foo(); ... if(!e) goto error; do
