RE: code generation bug

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]


Linker: Your third case "1 or false and true or false" is not a bug. Due to operator precedence it is equivalent to "1 or (false and true) or false".
I can generalize the problem a bit, though. For any X, Y, Z, where X ~=nil and X~=false:
 ((X or Y) and true) or Z --> X (should always be true)
 (X or Y) and (true or Z) --> X (should always be true)
Extra parentheses are for clarity and do not affect the results.

I had try it in Lua 5.1.4 win xp:
> =1 or false
1 -- right
> =1 and true or false
true -- right
> =1 or false and true or false
1 -- wrong
> =((1 or false) and true)or false
1 -- wrong

Same results on 5.1.2 and 5.1.3, MacOS and Windows.
For what it's worth, I observed in lcode.c that the OPR_AND expression inherited the 'k' (kind) of VTRUE from its rhs subexpression, which seems wrong and seems to throw off the subsequent call to luaK_goiffalse().
