Re: local var <const>

[Sergey Kovalev <kovserg33@...>]

I think there is no need in const at all.

function ups(nane <const>)
  print("name=",name) -- mistype in argument name
end

ups "name"

I see no real application for const in dynamic language like lua

local t <const> = { x=1 }
t.x=2 -- wtf?

If you need const. It could be emulated in runtime using metatables:
function const(c)
    return setmetatable({},{__index=c,
        __newindex=function(t,n,v) error "const is read only" end
    })
end
local my = const { x=1, y=2, e=2.71, pi=3.14, person=const { name="a", age=1 } }
print(my.pi)
