BTW, we always use -Wmissing-prototypes plus -Wstrict-prototypes and -Wold-style-definition and -Wc++-compat. This last one should have warned us about this particular problem: -Wc++-compat (C and O

We always use -Wmissing-prototypes, so this does not seem to be an issue. Note that Lua already casts all the result of malloc (see macros in 'lmem.h')--otherwise there would be lots of errors like

Quick update: I pushed a few more changes...  I figured out a way to shave some time off the base array type using your simpler metatable method (thanks!).  It involved refactoring some other behavio

GitHub must be comprising over thousands machines, but all pages of more than 10.000.000 users are accessible via only one site name (github.com). They don't create a subdomain for each user/repo. I

I found the issue: We us a luaproxy module to map values from one Lua state to another. And this module did not differentiate between LUA_TNUMBER/integer and LUA_TNUMBER/float. So an integer would be

I think as it stands if luaD_poscall() does not leave L->top point to the top of the results then external callers of luaV_execute() will not know how many values were returned. I think luaV_execute(

Embarrasingly, this release was completely broken, to the point that even `require "posix"` didn't work. I've removed it from LuaRocks so that you still get the previous working version when dependen
