 Roberto> I guess you are talking about this macro:

 Roberto>     #define checkstackp(L,n,p)  \
 Roberto>       luaD_checkstackaux(L, n, \
 Roberto>         ptrdiff_t t__ = savestack(L, p);  /* save 'p' */ \
 Roberto>         luaC_checkGC(L),  /* stack grow uses memory */ \
 Roberto>         p = restorestack(L, t__))  /* 'pos' part: restore 'p' */

 Roberto> What separates the macro arguments is the comma, not the

Aha. Yes, that explains it.
