[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]


Dear Lua list,

using Lua 5.1, when I loop over the key-value pairs in a table using lua_next(), it is safe to modify the values?
Especially if the new value is nil, in order to remove the key-value pair from the table?

http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#lua_next explicitly warns about modifying the keys, but says nothing about modifying the values.

Best regards,
Carsten
