factor out negative index handling to separate function, posrelat (to
match C Lua). When converting numbers to strings, see if the double value
can be represented exactly as a long, and if so format the string as
an integer. With these changes the standard test case "strings.lua" runs
to line 104 (over half way through!), where it uses string.format.
(1) Fix string.char and string.byte (argument indexing was off by one)
(2) Implement string.find
(3) Change calls to charAt, which does array bounds checking, in the
pattern matcher with calls to luaByte, which does not.
(4) Replace use of recursion with while/continue in pattern matcher.
(1) getKeys() in LTable is now public. It provides a convenient interface
to access the table's elements from Java instead of Lua.
(2) LString.toInputStream produces an instance of InputStream from which
the string's bytes can be read.
on strings as the string package, so that string functions can be called
with self (:) syntax. Autoload test case now inexplicably fails more,
but it was already broken.
Includes a new VM method, newCall, which must be called before pushing
a call onto the stack to make sure that base is set correctly.
A couple of weird issues remain with autoload.lua.
uses plain Java arrays directly to keep heap allocation to a minimum.
Includes some unit tests that seem to indicate the basic operations are
correct. However, the following things are not implemented:
* Shrinking the capacity when elements are removed
* Optimal storage of each element in array vs. hash when entries are
added out of order. A junit test case is there for this.
(1) New lua compatibility bindings, including select() and math functions
(2) fix some VM bugs
(3) fix some table bugs, and attempt to restore metatable functionality.
commented out: a more sophisticated (but space-consuming) optimization
that accounts for arbitrary starting index, stride, and direction (increasing/decreasing).
commented out some table metatable stuff that was wrong. metatables
need to be implemented properly.
test cases to make more progress: assert, collectgarbage, loadfile,
tonumber, rawget, and setfenv. Also added zip file of standard tests to
Eclipse classpath, for convenience.
and changed instanceof/casts to LInstance to use LUserData instead. This
should enable various add-ons to be compatible without knowing much, or
anything, about each other.
