LOADF vs LOADK

[Rodrigo Azevedo <rodrigoams@...>]

Dear,

I was looking at the opcodes from lua-5.4.0-rc1 using "luac -l", and the simple code below

local v1 = 1
local v2 = 1.
local v3 = 1.0
local v4 = 1.01

is translated to

1 [1] VARARGPREP 0
2 [1] LOADI     0 1
3 [2] LOADF     1 1
4 [3] LOADF     2 1
5 [4] LOADK     3 0 ; 1.01

So, why "1." and "1.0" use LOADF but "1.01" uses LOADK?

Thanks,

Rodrigo
