--- Comment #6 from darklama <darkl...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to comment #5) I like the idea of having a table that can be set and is preserved across invoke calls, but that wasn't what was asked for in this bug request. loadData can appear to be mutable while being immutable by using two tables. Only the immutable table would be preserved with each invoke. (In reply to comment #4) > The problem is making pairs and ipairs work in that case. And > the same for # if we ever figure out a way to fix bug 47096. pairs and ipairs can work by using custom __pairs and __ipairs functions which iterates over the immutable table and uses the key/value from the mutable table when present. After that iterates over the mutable table only using keys which aren't present in the immutable table. See 4 suggestions to address # in bug 47096. With that fixed, __len could be calculated with either pairs or ipairs, but that is inefficient. A more efficient approach might be to use three tables, one immutable table, one mutable table for keys that are also in the immutable table, and one mutable table for keys not in the immutable table. __len = #immutable + + #mutable_unique -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
