Re: reallycheckint(L,index)

[Tim Hill <drtimhill@...>]

I'm trying to figure out what you're checking (it's late here!) .. a Lua number that has no fractional part (with all the issues that can cause) or a Lua number that can be stored within a C "int" without overflow?

pi==3 would make life so much easier …
