Lua code learning path using annotated source by Steve Donovan

[Lorenzo Donati <lorenzodonatibz@...>]

Hi all and Steve in particular!

I'm in the process of revamping my C skills and I'd like to study Lua 
sources as an example of very well-written code using the annotated 
source by Steve Donovan found at:

http://stevedonovan.github.com/lua-5.1.4/

I'd appreciate any hint or suggestion on which learning path could be 
best to understand the inner workings of Lua (i.e. from which file to 
begin with, etc.). Moreover, any caveat against what I intend to do is 
also welcome.


On a related note: is the annotated code updated to the latest patch or 
is it the original 5.1.4 release with no patch applied?

To Steve:

1. are you going to update the code to the latest patch, if it is not 
already?

2. are you going to publish annotated code also for 5.2.0 now it is 
released?

3. it seems that there is a typo on

http://stevedonovan.github.com/lua-5.1.4/

near the top beside print.c: shouldn't *dissembler* read *disassembler*?

4. On the same page there is no mention of the file llimits.h (apart 
from llimits.h:MAXSTACK in the index of annotations). Is this 
intentional or should it be included in one of the upper sections (e.g. 
the "Virtual Machine" one)?


TIA & Cheers!
