Re: string.dump the same function is not equal?

[Rodrigo Azevedo <rodrigoams@...>]

It should be something like that, in fact

----
local f1,f2 = string.dump(function(x) x=x+1 return x end,true),
string.dump(function(x) x=x+1 return x end,true)
print(f1 == f2)
----

returns 'true'. However, from Lua 5.3 manual,

string.dump (function [, strip])
Returns a string containing a binary representation (a binary chunk)
of the given function, so that a later load on this string returns a
copy of the function (but with new upvalues). If strip is a true
value, the binary representation may not include all debug information
about the function, to save space.

What 'may not include all debug information' precisely means?
instead, is there any way to avoid 'all' debug information?
