Re: Is it possible to point out all the errors in an already written Lua script? Is there a IDE that could achieve this goal?

My favorite is the reverse of that one, an extra open '{'. Often,
I write a new function and copy its header from the .c to the .h,
forgetting to change the '{' to ';'. In a large .c file, that simple
error makes gcc generate lots of warnings and errors. You have to
skip dozens of warnings just to get to the first error.
