Module equiv

Source and binary equivalency comparisons

Notes:

  • Intended as an extra safety check for mission-critical code, should give affirmative results if everything works.

  • Heavy on load() and string.dump(), which may be slowish, and may cause problems for cross-compiled applications.
  • Optional detailed information dump is mainly for debugging, reason being, if the two are not equivalent when they should be, then some form of optimization has failed.
  • source: IMPORTANT: TK_NAME not compared if opt-locals enabled.
  • binary: IMPORTANT: Some shortcuts are taken with int and size_t value reading -- if the functions break, then the binary chunk is very large indeed.
  • binary: There is a lack of diagnostic information when a compare fails; you can use ChunkSpy and compare using visual diff.

Functions

init (_option, _llex, _warn) The initialization function.
binary (z, dat) Tests binary chunk equivalence (only for PUC Lua 5.1).

Local Functions

build_stream (s) Builds lists containing a 'normal' lexer stream.
