Re: Description of 5.3 bytecode operations?

[Satoru Kawahara <s1311350@...>]

There is no documantation for Lua 5.3 bytecode.

"A No Frill Introdution to Lua 5.1 Instruction"[1] is a famous research for Lua 5.1 bytecode.

I've tried to read the 5.3 bytecode with the paper and implemented the decode/encoder[2] written in MoonScript.

I hope I can be of any help to you.

I'm working on a project that involves dealing with Lua bytecode; is there a documentation that describes how bytecode works in human readable format?
