Antwort: Re: More lua stack operations support?

[dehmel.r@...]

Is this lua_settop(L, 0) or any other remove, ... not
needed?

static int Lcm_smw16(lua_State *L)
{
  Lcm* ud = (Lcm*)luaL_checkudata(L, 1, "Lcm");
  int a = luaL_checkint(L, 2);
  int d = luaL_checkint(L, 3);
  int blind = luaL_optint(L, 4, 0);
  lua_settop(L, 0); // <=== no need for this
stack adjustment ?
  lua_pushnumber(L, ud->smw16(a, d, blind));
  return 1;
}

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

If you are returning to Lua, the return values are used and the stack
is cleaned up.
So this situation only applies when you staying in C.

I find it hard to imagine a situation where stack leakage would be
critical when you
have all the resources of C at your disposal.

Maybe you would be able to convince me if you showed an actual
rather than a hypothetical example.
