Overview ¶
Package api defines the parser and code generator public interface.
The parser is a single-pass recursive descent compiler that converts Lua source into Proto (compiled function prototypes). The public API is minimal: Parse() is the sole entry point.
FuncState, ExpDesc, and BlockCnt are compiler-internal types. They are defined here for documentation but will be used only within the parse and codegen implementation.

Code generator for Lua — translates expression descriptors into bytecode.
This is the Go translation of C Lua's lcode.c (1972 lines). It handles instruction emission, constant pool management, register allocation, jump list management, expression discharge, and operator codegen.

Parser for Lua — single-pass recursive descent compiler.
This is the Go translation of C Lua's lparser.c (2202 lines). It parses Lua source into bytecode by calling codegen functions.
