Popping parameters (Was: String lifetime (C API))

["Beric Holt" <beric@...>]

Is this actually healthy?  I must admit that that in quite a few places I've been lazy and haven't popped off the parameters at the end of a function, and I've often wondered if it is the cause of an occasional random crash. 

 

So is it true that lua will automatically pop off all variables passed to a function when that function returns and clean up the stack?

Thanks, I finally 
decided to just leave everything on the stack and assume it will get cleaned up 
when the function returns.

Actually, I created a few proxy functions so 
all I need to do is change those to whatever behaviour I want, just in case I 
figure out another way or want to change it.
