Roberto Ierusalimschy fdc25a1ebf New functions 'lua_resetthread' and 'coroutine.kill'
New functions to reset/kill a thread/coroutine, mainly (only?) to
close any pending to-be-closed variable. ('lua_resetthread' also
allows a thread to be reused...)

Roberto Ierusalimschy 6d04537ea6 A to-be-closed variable must have a closable value (or be nil)
It is an error for a to-be-closed variable to have a non-closable
non-nil value when it is being closed. This situation does not seem to
be useful and often hints to an error. (Particularly in the C API, it is
easy to change a to-be-closed index by mistake.)

Roberto Ierusalimschy e8c779736f Removed internal cache for closures
The mechanism of "caching the last closure created for a prototype to
try to reuse it the next time a closure for that prototype is created"
was removed. There are several reasons:

- It is hard to find a natural example where this cache has a measurable
impact on performance.

- Programmers already perceive closure creation as something slow,
so they tend to avoid it inside hot paths. (Any case where the cache
could reuse a closure can be rewritten predefining the closure in some
variable and using that variable.)

- The implementation was somewhat complex, due to a bad interaction
with the generational collector. (Typically, new closures are new,
while prototypes are old. So, the cache breaks the invariant that
old objects should not point to new ones.)

Roberto Ierusalimschy 41c800b352 Closing methods should not interfere with returning values
A closing method cannot be called in its own stack slot, as there may
be returning values in the stack after that slot, and the call would
corrupt those values. Instead, the closing method must be copied to the
top of the stack to be called.

Moreover, even when a function returns no value, its return istruction
still has to have its position (which will set the stack top) after
the local variables, otherwise a closing method might corrupt another
not-yet-called closing method.

Roberto Ierusalimschy 3c7dc52909 Handling of memory errors when creating to-be-closed upvalues 2018-10-18 16:15:09 -03:00
Roberto Ierusalimschy bd96330d03 First "complete" implementation of to-be-closed variables
Still missing:
- handling of memory errors when creating upvalue (must run closing
method all the same)
- interaction with coroutines

Roberto Ierusalimschy f99509581e Removed extra information from RCS keyword strings
Version numbers and dates (mostly wrong) from RCS keyword strings
removed from all source files; only the file name are kept.

Roberto Ierusalimschy f96497397a new type 'StackValue' for stack elements
(we may want to put extra info there in the future)
2017-06-29 12:06:44 -03:00
Roberto Ierusalimschy b42430fd3a 'lineinfo' in prototypes saved as differences instead of absolute
values, so that the array can use bytes instead of ints, reducing
its size. (A new array 'abslineinfo' is used when line differences
do not fit in a byte.)

Roberto Ierusalimschy a3d36fe283 Upvalues collected like everything else (with mark-sweep) instead
of reference count (simpler and better for generational mode)

Roberto Ierusalimschy 1150873447 'luaC_newobj' does not handle special cases; only special case
now is threads, which do not use 'luaC_newobj' anymore.
2013-09-11 09:26:14 -03:00
Roberto Ierusalimschy 90972ff136 LOCALBLACK changed to LOCALMARK and used also to control whether object
is in 'localgc' list + luaC_newobj by default puts object in 'localgc'
list

Roberto Ierusalimschy 677d90165f no more generational collection !!! 2013-08-05 13:58:28 -03:00
Roberto Ierusalimschy 86b39206d9 open upvalues cannot be old if thread is not old; when thread is old,
their list is not traversed anymore, and therefore can contain dead
elements.

Roberto Ierusalimschy 3cadc37f47 no more 'Proto' objects on the stack. Protos are anchored on outer
Protos or on a Closure, which must be created before the Proto.
