Re: Is there anyway to make a new Lua closure sharing the same code with old one but with different env table?

Ah correct you are. I wrote that a bit too quickly perhaps. But yeah, simply moving them outside the functionfactory scope is enough to fix it.

Actually, each of the returned functions have their own upvalues, they
aren't shared. If you lifted "local upvalue1, upvalue2" out of
functionfactory, then they would be shared.
