Re: Bug report: Luac -l incompatible with LUAI_ASSERT

[Alex Light <allight@...>]

I mean the bug is I want to compile lua with -DLUAI_ASSERT and use luac with the same CFLAGS. Since the fix for this is rather straightforward (you can just use pragma puish_macro to redefine the check_exp for those lines or turn them into #defines) and it's something others might also want to do I figured I'd file a report. I can do it myself but that's just another patch on lua to maintain.

Better yet, you can fix the bug by removing the option -DLUAI_ASSERT.

The LUAI_ASSERT has the following comment:

    Internal assertions for in-house debugging

(The prefix LUAI_, instead of LUA_, also hints that it is not intended
for regular use.)

So, if you use this macro, you are on your own.
