Bitwise operators in lua.
Posted: Sun Aug 09, 2015 20:04Hi there,
it seems that the bitwise operators >>, <<, ~ in lua don't work. When using any of them I get syntax errors.
Using BitOp lib works. The following prints "....11".
But require is not allowed when security is on. I've tried to set the mod as trusted, but that still doesn't work.
using minetest-0.4.12-7a6e4dc (sfan5's build)
on windows.
Steps to reproduce:
o Set ... games\minimal\mods\test\init.lua to the code mentioned above.
o Run any game
o Marvel at syntax error messages or security issues messages.

setting security in minetest.conf
- Shouldn't the operators work?
- If forced to use BitOp, maybe it could be referenced by default, so no require is needed and thus no security issues.
- Why does setting test as trusted not allow using require?
