delta/lua-github.git/table.h, branch v2_5

lock mechanism seperseded by the REFERENCE mechanism.

1996-04-22T18:00:37+00:00

"lua_ntable" and "lua_nconstant" are public (undump.c uses them).

1996-03-14T15:57:19+00:00

fixed strings (not collectable) don't need to be inserted in the constant table.

1996-02-26T21:00:27+00:00

reserved words are stored in main string table; "marked" field is

1996-02-14T13:35:51+00:00

used to indicate its type.
Table initializations centralized by "tree.c".

BIG CHANGE: new data structure for constants, strings and globals, using

1996-02-12T18:32:40+00:00

an array of hash tables for all them.

elimination of unused declarations (left from old modifications)

1996-02-06T16:18:21+00:00

lua_table now has references to global variable names (TreeNode's).

1996-01-26T18:03:19+00:00

memory overflow tries a garbage collection; if it fails then exit the

1996-01-22T14:15:13+00:00

program.

functions now may be declared with any "var" as a name;

1995-10-26T14:21:56+00:00

therefore they do not have a "baptism" name.
Changes in debug API to acomodate that.

new style for debug information about functions: no more SETFUNCTION

1995-10-17T11:58:41+00:00

opcodes. When a function is called, its entry in the stack is marked with
LUA_T_(C)MARK, so function 'luaD_stackedfunction' can find it if
needed.
Functions now have their file names in the headers, so there is no need
of 'addfile' and the like.
