Tim Starling 6bc11ff615 New parser interface
* Implemented the new parser interface based on a frame object, as
  described in the design document and wikitech-l.
* Added parser tests for the new interface.
* Removed {{script:}} parser function
* Allow named parameters to {{#invoke:}}
* Don't trim the return value
* If a function invoked by #invoke returns multiple values, concatenate
  them into a single string.
* If there is an error during parse, show the error message as an HTML
  comment as well as via JavaScript. This makes parser test construction
  easier, and probably makes debugging easier also.
* Rename mw_internal to mw_php to clarify its role. It is now strictly a
  private Lua -> PHP interface function table.
* Protect mw.setup() against multiple invocation.
* Fixed a bug in Scribunto_LuaStandaloneInterpreter::receiveMessage():
  large packets caused fread() to return with less than the requested
  amount of data, which previously caused an exception. It's necessary
  to check for EOF and to repeat the read to get all data. The receive
  function on the Lua side does not suffer from this problem.
* In the standalone engine, fixed a bug in the interpretation of null
  return values from PHP callbacks. This should return no values to Lua.
* Updated the Lua unit tests to account for the fact that functions are
  now forced to return strings.
* Updated the getfenv and setfenv tests to account for the extra stack
  level introduced by mw.executeFunction().

Tim Starling 41b93dd7e1 Fixed setfenv() across a tail call
Fixed the issue noticed during testing of da06273e, and which resulted
in satest.setfenv1() being disabled. It's not possible to protect
environments by iterating through every stack level, calling getfenv()
at each one, because if any of the stack levels is a tail call, an error
is raised.

Such a tail call was introduced in da06273e, which is why the test broke.

Instead, just protect the actual specified environments, not their
callers. The callers will have to protect themselves.

tstarling b68cae904a More tests and some related bug fixes
* Added tests for the engine classes.
* Added some tests that run under Lua.
* In the chunk names, fixed truncation of module names at 60 bytes
  by using an "=" prefix instead of @.
* Fixed a bug in mw.clone() which was causing the metatable to be set on
  the source table instead of the destination.
* Put restricted setfenv/getfenv in the cloned environment rather than
  the base environment, they work better that way.
* In setfenv(), check for getfenv() == nil, since that's what our own
  restricted getfenv returns.
* Fixed getfenv() handling of numeric arguments: add one where
  appropriate.

tstarling cebe775ee8 Added more Lua environment features
Package library:

* Added a simulation of the Lua 5.1 package library.
* Removed mw.import(), replaced it with a package loader. Packages can be
  retrieved from the wiki, using require('Module:Foo'), or from files
  distributed with Scribunto, using require('foo'). The "Module:" prefix allows
  for source compatibility with existing Lua code.
* Added a couple of libraries from LuaForge: luabit and stringtools.
* Made fetchModuleFromParser() return null on error instead of throwing an
  exception, to more easily support the desired behaviour of the package loader,
  which needs to return null on error.
* Renamed mw.setupEnvironment() to mw.setup() since it is setting up things
  other than the environment now.
* In MWServer:handleRegisterLibrary(), remove the feature which interprets dots
  in library names, since LuaSandbox doesn't support this.

Improved module isolation and related refactoring:

* Expose restricted versions of getfenv() and setfenv() to user Lua code.
  Requires luasandbox r114952.
* Don't cache the export list returned by module execution for later function
  calls. This breaks isolation of #invoke calls, since the local variables are
  persistent.
* Removed ScribuntoFunctionBase and its children, since it doesn't really have
  a purpose if it can't cache anything. Instead, invoke functions using a module
  method called invoke().
* Removed Module::initialize(), replaced it with a validate() function. This is
  a more elegant interface and works better with the new module caching scheme.
* Use a Status object for the return value of Engine::validate() instead of an
  array. Use the formatting facilities of the Status class.

Other:

* Removed "too many returns" error, doesn't fit in with Lua conventions.
* Use the standalone engine by default, so that the extension will work without
  configuration for more people.
* Added an accessor for $engine->interpreter
* Fix mw.clone() to correctly clone metatables
* If the standalone interpreter exits due to an error, there are some contexts
  where the initial error will be caught and ignored, and the user will see the
  error from checkValid() instead. In this case, rethrow the original error for
  a more informative message.
* Load mw.lua into the initial standalone environment, to reduce code
  duplication between mw.lua and MWServer.lua.
* Fixed a bug in Scribunto_LuaStandaloneInterpreter::handleCall() for functions
  that return no results.
* Fixed a bug in encodeLuaVar() for strings with "\r". Added test case.
* In MWServer.lua, don't call error() for internal errors, instead just print
  the error and exit. This avoids a protocol violation when an error is
  encountered from within handleCall().
* Added lots of documentation. Lua doc comments are in LuaDoc format.

tstarling 54cedd69b8 Introduced standalone interpreter, implemented module isolation
* Introduced a Lua implementation based on shelling out to a standard Lua binary.
* Bundled several Lua binaries for common platforms. I haven't added a 32-bit Linux binary yet, but that will come.
* Refactored the existing Lua class, bringing out functionality common to all Lua implementations into a set of common base classes.
* Moved the bulk of the implementation-specific functionality into a set of "interpreter" classes.
* Renamed LuaSandboxEngine to Scribunto_LuaSandboxEngine
* Don't create an engine object unconditionally when the ParserLimitReport hook is called.
* Implemented isolation of module global variable namespaces. This means that separate {{#invoke}} calls can't pass data to each other -- this was a desired feature in planning since it allows more flexibility in wikitext parser design. Isolation for mw.import() means that modules cannot accidentally create global variables which affect other modules -- exports are solely via the return value.
