Hello,
(yes, it's me again ;-)
Yesterday I noticed that when \dump-ing a format file, the Lua states are not dumped as well, discarding all initializations made while creating the format.
this is the reason for the bytecode registers; these are saved; you can store luacode in there and initialize that at runtime (when the format is loaded); there is no pre-cooked behaviour, it's under your control; depending on the amount of code to be loaded, it makes sense to use this mechanism or not (loading lua code is rather fast) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
