Invalid order functions

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


If you call table.sort with an invalid sort function, you can get a call with (nil) to the order function before you get the "invalid order function" message
$ lua -e 'table.sort({1,2,3,4}, function (a,b) print(a,b) return true end)'
4 1
2 4
3 4
4 4
1 4
nil 4
lua: (command line):1: invalid order function for sorting
So usually you never see the "invalid order function" error message:
$ lua -e 'table.sort({1,2,3,4}, function (a,b) return a>0 end)'
lua: (command line):1: attempt to compare number with nil
Is this the intended behavior?
