Hi All,
I recently noticed that I don't get expected results from activelines table when I use it on the function returned by load/loadstring. The following fragment shows the difference:
local function a()
print("a")
print("b")
end
local b = (loadstring or load)("function a()\n print(1)\n print(2)\nend")
for i in pairs(debug.getinfo(a, "L").activelines) do
print("case a", i)
end
for i in pairs(debug.getinfo(b, "L").activelines) do
print("case b", i)
end
For case a, I get 2, 3, 4 as expected, but for case b I get 1 and 4. I get exactly the same result with Lua 5.1-5.3 and LuaJIT, which tells me that there is a reason for this behavior. How do I get line numbers the execution will be stopped on without executing the fragment?
Paul.
