If I populate a table then read it back like this
lua_newtable(L);
lua_pushstring(L, "this is a test");
luaL_ref(L, -2);
lua_len(L, 1);
printf("lua table has length %f\n", lua_tonumber(L, -1));
lua_pushnil(L); /* first key */
while(lua_next(L, 1 ) != 0)
{
/* uses 'key' (at index -2) and 'value' (at index -1) */
if(lua_type(L,-2) != LUA_TNUMBER) {
printf("%s - %s\n", lua_tostring(L, -2), lua_typename(L, lua_type(L, -1)));
} else {
printf("%f - %s\n", luaL_checknumber(L, -2), lua_typename(L, lua_type(L, -1)));
}
/* removes 'value'; keeps 'key' for next iteration */
lua_pop(L, 1);
}
I get the following output
lua table has length 1.000000
1.000000 - string
3.000000 - number
In Lua 5.3 I get
lua table has length 1.000000
1.000000 - string
Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Bill
