Dear devs,
This was asked on TeX.SX: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/404617
The example below runs perfectly fine in the normal Lua interpreter, but
crashes in texlua because
the maximum number of open file handles is exceeded. This seems to be a
peculiarity of io.lines in
texlua. Is there anything special to the implementation of it in LuaTeX?
Cheers, Henri
-- Create the file (once)
local filename = 'luatexfilelimit.txt'
local file = io.open(filename, "w")
file:write("hello world\n")
file:close()
-- Print its contents (many times)
for i = 1, 3000000 do
print(string.format('Attempt %d', i))
for line in io.lines(filename) do
print(line)
end
end
