Useful Luau shorthands and expressions

It’s Luau, not Lua 5.4.

Starting from Lua 5 and on, function inlining is not performed at all due to Lua’s shift to register-based bytecode interpretation:

Ever tried switching to optimize 2 mode? No? Well, too bad you are still wrong.

Are you crazy or something? You’ve never opened a disassembler in your life, and all you provide is some vague screenshot of someone using it.

I have a whole section explaining from official sources that no function inlining ever occurs in Lua or Luau.

It literally does get inlined

# Compilation Stats:
# Functions: 2
# Instructions: 7
# Optimisations: 2
# Debug: 0

function anon_0(??)
ADD R2 R0 R1
RETURN R2 1
end

function anon_1(??)
DUPCLOSURE R0 K0;
GETIMPORT R1 2; print
LOADN R2 5
CALL R1 1 0
RETURN R0 0
end

You obviously watch some nonsense sources instead of verifying anything you see. Too bad you stumbled upon a guy who literally documented all opcodes for Luau.

Also, how register/non-register-based bytecode could even influence inlining your logic makes zero sense.

Wrong, like the 10th time already. Learn from mistakes, pal.

@safeLast120

neither it will inline if you do it any other way since inlining in Luau doesn’t exist

You seem to not understand how to work with a disassembler at all. I recommend you heavily to read my tutorial before bringing a Luau compiler into an argument ever.

Luau Bytecode EXPLAINED - How to Read, Debug, and Optimize Like a Hacker

Understanding Bytecode - The Hidden Language of Luau Hello to all developers brave (or crazy ) enough to look behind the curtain and learn how Luau actually works [image] Is it worth learning Bytecode? Reasons to learn Bytecode Why Most Optimizations Fail The main reason optimizations flop is simple: most devs don’t actually know what Luau is doing under the hood. Luau (Roblox’s language) is made up of four key parts: . Bytecode - The low-l…
