182\startitem There are only 64K registers (although we can extend that if needed). \stopitem
183\startitem Accessing registers at the \LUA\ end is not that efficient. \stopitem
184\startitem So we have now datatypes at the \LUA\ end with access at the \TEX\ end. \stopitem
185\startitem Their values can go beyond what \TEX\ registers provide. \stopitem

206The usual \LUA\ semantics apply:
207
208\startbuffer
209\luacardinal bar 0x123
210\luainteger bar 0x456
211\luafloat bar 0x123.456p3
212\stopbuffer
213
214\typebuffer \getbuffer
215
216So, now we get:
217

220\the\luainteger bar \quad
221\the\luafloat bar
222\stopbuffer
223
224\getbuffer
225
226Equal signs are optional:
227
228\startbuffer
229\luainteger gnu= 123456 \luafloat gnu= 123.456e12
230\luainteger gnu = 123456 \luafloat gnu = 123.456e12
231\luainteger gnu =123456 \luafloat gnu =123.456e12
232\stopbuffer
233

235
236These commands can be uses for assignments as well as serialization. They use the
237\LUAMETATEX\ value function feature.
238
239\page
240
241Dimensions are serialized differently so that they can be used like this:
242
243\startbuffer
244\luadimen test 100pt \scratchdimen = .25 \luadimen test: \the\scratchdimen
245\stopbuffer
246
247\typebuffer
248
249\getbuffer
250
251\page
252
253Assume that we have this:
254
255\startbuffer
256\luacardinal x = 123 \luafloat x = 123.123
257\luacardinal y = 456 \luafloat y = 456.456
258\stopbuffer
259
260\typebuffer \getbuffer
261
262We can then use the macro \type {\luaexpression} that takes an optional keyword:
263
264\startbuffer
265 : \luaexpression {n.x 2*n.y}
266f : \luaexpression float {n.x 2*n.y}
267i : \luaexpression integer {n.x 2*n.y}
268c : \luaexpression cardinal {n.x 2*n.y}
269b : \luaexpression boolean {n.x 2*n.y}
270l : \luaexpression lua {n.x 2*n.y}
271\stopbuffer
272
273\typebuffer
274
275The serialization can be different for these cases:
276
277\startlines
278\tt \getbuffer
279\stoplines
280
281Variables have their own namespace but get resolved across namespaces (f, i, c).
282

285Special tricks:
286
287\startbuffer
288\scratchdimen 123.456pt [\the\scratchdimen] [\the\nodimen\scratchdimen]
289\stopbuffer
290
291\typebuffer \getbuffer
292
293Does nothing, nor does:
294
295\startbuffer
296\nodimen\scratchdimen = 654.321pt
297\stopbuffer
298
299\typebuffer \getbuffer

301But:

305\NC \type {\the\nodimen cc \scratchdimen} \NC \the\nodimen cc \scratchdimen \NC \NR

312\stoptabulate
313
314gives different units! In the coffee break it was decided to drop the \type {nc}
315and \type {nd} units in \LUAMETATEX\ when Arthur indicated that they never became
316a standard. Dropping the \type {true} variants also makes sense but we postponed
317dropping the \type {in} (inch).

323Two dimensional arrays have names and a type:
324
325\startbuffer
326\newarray name integers type integer nx 2 ny 2
327\newarray name booleans type boolean nx 2 ny 2
328\newarray name floats type float nx 2 ny 2
329\newarray name dimensions type dimension nx 4
330\stopbuffer
331
332\typebuffer \getbuffer
333
334And a special accessor. Here we set values:
335
336\startbuffer
337\arrayvalue integers 1 2 4 \arrayvalue integers 2 1 8
338\arrayvalue booleans 1 2 true \arrayvalue booleans 2 1 true
339\arrayvalue floats 1 2 12.34 \arrayvalue floats 2 1 34.12
340\arrayvalue dimensions 1 12.34pt \arrayvalue dimensions 3 34.12pt
341\stopbuffer
342
343\typebuffer \getbuffer
344
345\page
346
347Here we get values:
348
349\startbuffer
350[\the\arrayvalue integers 1 2]
351[\the\arrayvalue booleans 1 2]
352[\the\arrayvalue floats 1 2]
353[\the\arrayvalue dimensions 1 ]\crlf
354[\the\arrayvalue integers 2 1]
355[\the\arrayvalue booleans 2 1]
356[\the\arrayvalue floats 2 1]
357[\the\arrayvalue dimensions 3]
358\stopbuffer
359
360\typebuffer
361
362\getbuffer
363
364When a value is expected the integer is serialized:
365
366\startbuffer
367\scratchcounter\arrayvalue integers 1 2\relax \the\scratchcounter
368\stopbuffer
369
370\typebuffer
371
372\getbuffer

377\showarray integers

385\dostepwiserecurse {1} {4} {1} {
386 [\the\arrayvalue dimensions #1 :
