Greetings, There is a new rockspec at: http://www.pjb.com.au/comp/lua/datadumper-1.0-0.rockspec
Doc: http://lua-users.org/wiki/DataDumper Tarball: http://www.pjb.com.au/comp/lua/DataDumper-1.0.tar.gz We were talking about this back in October... In putting it together as a rockspec I wrote a test script, and discovered that there's one thing which doesn't work in 5.2; dumping a function without fastmode set fails on 5.2 :-( In this mode, it recurses all the way up looking for closures but seems to crash when it gets to _G with an "unable to dump given function" message. I tried to understand the code but got brain-overload :-( and tried to contact Patrick Rapin but without success. Yet I still think it's worth installing under 5.2, because I've been using it for years but never had to dump a function. It's used for example by my midisox: http://www.pjb.com.au/midi/midisox.html Therefore I've given: "lua >= 5.1" Is that permissible ? What's the right thing to do here ? Happy New Year :-) Peter Billam (P.S. Of course a fix would solve the problem... ) http://www.pjb.com.au [email protected] (03) 6278 9410 "Follow the charge, not the particle." -- Richard Feynman from The Theory of Positrons, Physical Review, 1949 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
