Re: Lua5.0 new "For" question

This is strange, I don't get the same behaviour ... How do you execute this piece of code ? I do write it into a file an then run the standalone lua on it with the following command line :
lua test.lua
Or I can make a dofile on it, and get same result. All these being tested with lua 4.0, lua 5.0alpha and lua 5.0beta

One way to get original lua 4 behaviour was
local x=123
do
 local x = x
 f = function() return %x end
end
x = 456
print (f())
Now this gives 123 with both lua 4 and 5 ...
Hmm. Something I don't understand here.
If I type in the above I get "nil" not "123". But if I wrap it in an extra
"do ... end" it works.
do
 local x=123
 do
 local x = x
 f = function() return %x end
 end
 x = 456
 print (f())
end
That doesn't make sense to me.
I type the original one in again (redfining "f" once more) and now I get
"456". What's going on here? =:O
*cheers*
