Which means that invalid UTF-8/16 strings are valid Lua strings. Lua functions like `string.dump` even use strings as a way of storing binary data. +To address that issue, Lua strings are represented by an array of bytes in Fengari. To push a JS string on the stack you can use `lua_pushliteral`. To get a Lua string on the stack as a JS string you can use `lua_tojsstring`. -### `str = lua_toljsstring(L, idx)` -Equivalent to `lua_tolstring` but returns the string as a JavaScript string (as if `to_jsstring()` was called on the result). +### _Missing_ features +- `lua_gc/collectgarbage`: Fengari relies on the JS garbage collector and does not implement its own. +- The following functions are only available in Node: + - `luaL_dofile` + - `luaL_loadfilex` + - `luaL_loadfile` + - `loadfile` + - `dofile` + - The entire `io` lib + - `os.remove` + - `os.rename` + - `os.tmpname` + - `os.execute` -### `lua_tojsstring(L, idx)` -Alias for `lua_toljsstring`. +### `dv = lua_todataview(L, idx)` + +Equivalent to `lua_tolstring` but returns a [`DataView`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/DataView) instead of a string. ### `lua_pushjsfunction(L, func)` @@ -132,6 +78,19 @@ var p = lua_toproxy(L, 1); p(L); ```` +## NYI + +- `io.input()`: partially implemented +- `io.lines()` +- `io.open()` +- `io.output()`: partially implemented +- `io.popen()` +- `io.read()` +- `io.tmpfile()` +- `file:lines()` +- `file:read()` +- `file:setvbuf()` +- `file:__gc()` ## References |
