Hi All!
I recently began playing a bit with Lua 5.2.0 (alpha). I downloaded and
compiled the source (WinXp + TDM mingw 4.5.1) - no problem here.
My problem is that I have some script I made for 5.4.1 which make heavy
use of setfenv/getenv that don't work in 5.2.
I know about _ENV and the 5.2 new approach to environments, but I didn't
follow the fine print in the past threads about setfenv becoming
deprecated, so I had some difficulty wading through old posts, so here
is my problem: Is there a _pure Lua approach_ (some debug library trick)
do rewrite sefenv/getenv?
I tried reading/writing the first upvalue of a function using
debug.set/getupvalue, but It didn't work in my use case.
In doing this I assumed that _ENV is always the first upvalue of a
function. Reading 5.2 docs it seems true, but I remember some old post
in which Roberto (or maybe Luiz?) said it isn't always like that (but
maybe I remember something superseded by newer work versions).
Any help appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
