Package vmcompare provides systematic VM opcode verification by comparing go-lua execution output against C Lua 5.5.1 reference output.

For each opcode, a minimal Lua snippet is run on both VMs and stdout is compared.

Normalize output for comparison: trim trailing whitespace per line, normalize NaN/inf representations, trim trailing newline.

func RunCLua(t *testing.T, code string) string

RunCLua executes Lua code with C Lua and returns stdout.

func RunGoLua(t *testing.T, code string) string
