Re: 5.1 binary compatibility flags

["Andy Jones" <shadowfirebird@...>]

Many apologies.  This comes of trying to do six things at once.

Both # and table.getn *are* supported in the version I
downloaded.  I don't post often to this list, so when I get it
wrong like that it makes me feel even more like an idiot.  

OTOH the package I downloaded (lua5_1_Win32_bin.tar.gz) does *not*
include any headers.  So I did need all your help, for which, many
thanks.

Andy.

   All the library packages include the public headers, and the
source code package is also available in the LuaBinaries.

   From Jim Whitehead mail you can see that "#" is working.

   The manual says that only setn is deprecated, so getn will still
work, although you should use "#".

   Looking at the source code the LUA_COMPAT_GETN definition affects
only the luaL_getn and luaL_setn C functions declaration and implementation.
