Re: does lua_pushstring check stack overflow? (Lua 5.0.2)

[Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo <lhf@...>]

In C functions, you're guaranteed to have at least LUA_MINSTACK stack slots.
If you need more, call lua_checkstack.

To quote the manual
	When you interact with Lua API, you are responsible for controlling
	stack overflow.  http://www.lua.org/manual/5.0/manual.html#3.2

No API function tests anything. In C, you're on your own, as in any
other C library. There's no hand-holding. If you need API checks,
recompile Lua (just lapi.c) with the appropriate definition of api_check.
