[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]
I haven't been using the 'n' for ages, if ever. I wouldn't think that's the problem, and my 'dump()' utility shows the table to be really, really empty. Meaning, 'for x in tbl' never goes in. 

You're right about the boolean false stuff, I'll change the code.. nope.

It's deep down in the code, but this is what catches it:

        --
        print( "TWN:", n, tbl.n )

I'm pretty sure (as was mentioned some time in the past) that
the 'n' index no longer literally exists in the table (thank
goodness!).  getn/setn now keep the table->'n' mapping somewhere
private (or not-so-private -- perhaps the registry -- but at
least this stops tables being implicitly polluted with 'n').
