This is easily done with a custom reader function for load.
Wouldn't that mean you would have to replace the loader in the code
being loaded. The only solution I see is to have a wrapper code around
the actual code.
But than you could also just write:
if _VERSION ~= "Lua 5.3" then
error "This code needs Lua 5.3"
else
load [[
Do()
Some()
Stuff()
]]
But I think that has some disadvantages too. Like losing the file name
and lines in the debug info. It seems to me that something like a
static assert would be the right thing here.
Something like this should work: (as you can see, the first line of the
module is on the first line of the file, etc)
if _VERSION ~= "Lua 5.3" then error "whatever" end local f,e = load([[
FIRST LINE OF CODE HERE
etc
etc
]],"filename.lua")
if not f then error(e) else stuff() end
