Lua Deserializer

Bare-bones Lua deserializer.

Bytecode Format

This will deserialize a slightly modified Lua 5.1.5 bytecode format.

Changes

• Instruction operation code is a byte instead of 6 bits
• Instruction argument B is a byte instead of 9 bits
• Instruction argument C is a byte instead of 9 bits
• Instruction argument Bx is 2 bytes instead of 18 bits

Purpose

The format is modified for simplicity.

nom, for example, will consume a whole byte instead of 6 bits when parsing an instruction's operation code, thus making it more problematic to parse.
