Re: lua_dump

Thanks for the reply,

What is the best way for me to patch this into my code?

I cant see a problem in me patching this into lua_dump(),
I think it is just luac and string.dump that use it, I was thinking
about an optional parameter on string.dump.

Maybe best if I create lua_dump_strip()?
