I've been looking through the syntax (I'm currently writing a Lua parser in
Visual Basic) and I can't seem to see why it requires two lookaheads.
- If "function" occurs in the position of an expression then it must be a
function literal.
- If "function" occurs where a statement may occur then, having absorbed the
'function' token, one merely needs to do a single lookahead to see if the
next token is "(" (meaing a function literal) or not (meaning a function
statement).
What am I missing?
