Re: A strange error found (x^y == x)

[Long Z <zandzx02cn@...>]

The Lua Interpreter was compiled with MadOS. 

I change the "main" in lua.c to "lua", and startup it as a thread.

I do some test like filesystem、network、..., It seems running fine.

* I running the Lua source code on the STM32.

* Nothing changed

* I define " function mypow(x,y) return x^y end " but got an error " stdin:1: 'end' expected near '<\25>' ".

* It looks same.

Here's some troubleshooting ideas/questions:

* Are you running the Lua source code on the STM32, or are you
compiling it somewhere else and just running the bytecode there? If
the latter, does the former work any better?
* If you stub out the whole constfolding function in src/lcode.c,
replacing the entire body with "return 0;", does anything change?
* If you do "function mypow(x, y) return x ^ y end" and then call
"mypow(2, 2)", what does it return?
* If you get the numbers at runtime instead of hardcoding them in the
Lua source, does anything change?
