table.setn and table.getn missing

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

the function pair setn/getn for tables does not exist in kahlua

two solutions come to mind:
a) implement setn/getn in stdlib.lua, use "n" field inside the table.
this solution is good enough for me and i'm sticking with it for now

b) extend LuaTable interface with void setn(int) and int getn(), use private 
int n in LuaTableImpl and expose those functions through TableLib
this might have advantages in non-hash implementations of LuaTable

hmm... i see in Lua 5.1 spec that setn/getn are deprecated. in that case this 
report is invalid

Correct, Kahlua does not intend to be compatible with Lua 5.0, only 5.1 at this 
point. (Possibly 5.2 when it's released)
