unluac, a Lua 5.1 decompiler

[tehtmi <tehtmi@...>]

Hello all,

I've written a decompiler for Lua 5.1.  It runs on chunks that have been 
compiled by luac with debugging information and attempts to print out a 
valid Lua program that would be compiled into equivalent bytecode.

The decompiler is probably not perfect.  Things that are likely to 
confuse it are complicated nested control structures (especially with 
break statements) and complicated expressions with logical or comparison 
operators.

I hope someone else will find it useful.

P.S. Thank you to Kein-Hong Man, for writing Chunkspy and documentation 
of the Lua VM.
