RE: Saving (part of) the lua state

Sorry, I didn't mean the saving the lua_State, but just Lua value(s).

If luac saves functions, then what happens if I do this:

test.lua:

state = {test = "value"}


luac -o test.luac test.lua 

lua 
>dofile("test.luac")
>print(state.test)
value

Obviously, state is not a function, but luac does save it, right? Does it
save _G as a function (closure) or something? (I looked a bit a the output
of luac -l test.luac) 

Thanks.
