Roberto Ierusalimschy 6443185167 "Emergency" new version 5.4.6
'lua_resetthread' is back to its original signature, to avoid
incompatibilities in the ABI between releases of the same version.
New function 'lua_closethread' added with the "correct" signature.

Roberto Ierusalimschy 5d708c3f9c Explanation of borders in the manual
The explanation includes the limit case of maxinteger being a border.
It also avoids the term "natural", which might include large floats
with natural values.

Roberto Ierusalimschy 0bfc572e51 Bug: GC is not reentrant
As the GC is not reentrant, finalizers should not be able to invoke it.

Roberto Ierusalimschy 6b3e116d44 Corrected bug in 'luaD_tryfuncTM'
The pointer to the metamethod can be invalidated by a finalizer that
can run during a GC in 'checkstackGCp'. (This commit also fixes a
detail in the manual.) Bug introduced in commit 91673a8ec.

Roberto Ierusalimschy 9db4bfed6b Revamp of format validation in 'string.format'
When calling 'sprintf', not all conversion specifiers accept all
flags; some combinations are undefined behavior.

Roberto Ierusalimschy 8a32e0aa4a Correction on documentation of string-buffer operations
All string-buffer operations can potentially change the stack in
unspecified ways; the push/pop documentation in the manual should
reflect that.

Roberto Ierusalimschy 511d53a826 lua_settop/lua_pop closes to-be-closed variables
The existence of 'lua_closeslot' is no reason for lua_pop not to close
to-be-closed variables too.  It is too error-prone for lua_pop not to
close tbc variables being popped from the stack.

Roberto Ierusalimschy b7eb21c1ef Normalization of metamethod typography in the manual 2021-03-02 13:50:00 -03:00
Roberto Ierusalimschy bc970005ce '__close' methods can yield in the return of a C function
When, inside a coroutine, a C function with to-be-closed slots return,
the corresponding metamethods can yield. ('__close' metamethods called
through 'lua_closeslot' still cannot yield, as there is no continuation
to go when resuming.)

Roberto Ierusalimschy 6ccd24eff5 Simpler handling of errors when creating tbc variables
New field 'lua_State.ptbc' keeps to-be-closed variable until its
upvalue is created, so that it can be closed in case of a
memory-allocation error.
2021-01-19 10:03:13 -03:00
Roberto Ierusalimschy 825ac8eca8 Corrected documentation for 'table.sort'
The sort function must define a (strict) weak order for a correct
sorting. A partial order is not enough.
2021-01-14 13:26:55 -03:00
Roberto Ierusalimschy cc1692515e New API function 'lua_closeslot'
Closing a to-be-closed variable with 'lua_settop' is too restrictive,
as it erases all slots above the variable. Moreover, it adds side
effects to 'lua_settop', which should be a fairly basic function.

Roberto Ierusalimschy 0ceada8da9 Report last error in closing methods
When there are multiple errors around closing methods, report the
last error instead of the original.

Roberto Ierusalimschy f9d29b0c44 Upvalues removed from 'openupval' before being closed
Undo commit c220b0a5d0: '__close' is not called again in case of
errors. (Upvalue is removed from the list before the call.) The
common error that justified that change was C stack overflows, which
are much rarer with the stackless implementation.

Roberto Ierusalimschy 409256b784 'coroutine.close'/'lua_resetthread' report original errors
Besides errors in closing methods, 'coroutine.close' and
'lua_resetthread' also consider the original error that stopped the
thread, if any.

Roberto Ierusalimschy e2ea3b31c9 Details (do not affect regular code)
* Avoids multiple definitions of 'lua_assert' in test file.
* Smaller C-stack limit in test mode.
* Note in the manual about the use of false
* Extra test for constant reuse.

Roberto Ierusalimschy 9e0a8475cd Added 'simplesect' sections to the manual
'simplesect' encloses the introductory text of sections with
subsections, so that each section either is all text or is all
subsections. (This commit also corrects a small brace error in the
manual and extra spaces/tabs in some other files.)

Roberto Ierusalimschy 679dc72c08 Using 'metavalues' for "metamethods" that are not methods
Several "metamethods" are not required to be methods (functions),
so it seems clearer not to call them metamethods. The manual now
uses the word 'metavalue' for those values.

Roberto Ierusalimschy be78aeae4c Default for warnings changed to "off"
Warnings are mostly a tool to help developers (e.g., by showing hidden
error messages); regular users usually don't need to see them.
