Deterministic table iteration

["Ivo Beltchev" <ivo@...>]

Hi

 

I’d like to know in what cases I can count on deterministic order of table iteration. I’m pretty sure if the keys are objects that are stored in memory (like tables, threads, closures, or full user data), the order is not deterministic. But what if the keys are limited to simple types, like numbers, strings, booleans, light user data? Is the order going to be always the same?

 

Thanks

Ivo
