It was thus said that the Great Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo once stated:

  32 bit Linux, Lua 5.1.4 (with all the patches [1]) and the following C
code:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <lua.h>

static int construct(lua_State *L)
{
  int stack_size;
  
  stack_size = lua_gettop(L);
  printf("construct %d items in stack\n",stack_size);
  lua_pushinteger(L,stack_size);
  return 1;
}

int luaopen_construct(lua_State *L)
{
  lua_register(L,"construct",construct);
  return 0;
}
