Marshalling data between C and Lua functions is also done using the stack. To call a Lua function, arguments are pushed onto the stack, and then the lua_call is used to call the actual function. When writing a C function to be directly called from Lua, the arguments are read from the stack. Here is an example of calling a Lua function from C:
Function names are often of the form p.myFunctionName, where p is the table from the return p at the bottom of your program. The reason for this is that you can only access functions that are entries in this table from the original #invoke statement. Functions for local use within the program can have any name.
This module is subject to page protection.It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing.
Note: There is a difference with the relevant Lua parameter. (This only concerns your task if you also work directly with the Lua mw.text.decode function). Lua documentation defines parameter |decodeNamedEntities=, having this effect: when omitted or false, only the reduced set of entities is
Scribunto Lua reference manual; Programming in Lua; Introduction to Lua patterns; About regex. Lua "patterns" are based on Regex (Patterns are a reduced set of regex). Help:Lua metamodules: Lua in Wikipedia has several meta-modules available that can make core functions easily available.
Non-local variables are the primary reason it is difficult to support nested, anonymous, higher-order and thereby first-class functions in a programming language. If the nested function or functions are (mutually) recursive, it becomes hard for the compiler to know exactly where on the call stack the non-local variable was allocated, as the frame pointer only points to the local variable of ...
I mentioned the 8/4 input because current Lua source that happens to have tabs (because it was prepared somewhere else and was pasted into the edit window) should be using 8-column tabs (an example being Module:Convert/data), while someone writing a new module in the new CodeEditor will get 4-character column tabs if they press the Tab key. A ...
This module provides utilities for declaring classes in Lua code. It creates global variables, so must be called before require ( 'strict' ) if that is used. The above documentation is transcluded from Module:Lua class/doc .
