What about the second problem?

Thanks Luigi. Too bad I can't read C :)
Ah yes , sorry.
Anyway
after a while (luatex) C code looks like Lua code
(or better a sort of mkiv lua code ): the chapter on extension of the
Lua book is enough.
And in the end it's the latest source that wins over documentation.
I agree. I can force myself if I really want to understand something in
the source, but my understanding remains fuzzy.
IMHO, it doesn't hurt if a luatex lua-macro programmer knows C;
it's also useful for extensions.
It probably doesn't hurt, but I have tons of other things to do rather
than learning C (or toying with LuaTeX, for that matter :) ). I'm not a
programmer by trade or even hobby (except when it comes to TeX), so
learning a new language is not something I do easily or willingly --
even though now that TeX is opened up, I sometimes wish I knew C so I
could rip it apart!
Best,
Paul
