API issue

[EngineerCoding]

Hey,

Im not sure on how many API's this really applies, but there is a bug with the string API.
Do the following:

function string:test() print( self ) end
("random"):test()

This works on CC, but not in CCLite. Im assuming you are proxying the string table or any API in that matter, but you shouldnt do that.

Realistically, that can only be fixed in the single computer version.

I don't know how modifying the string table gets to the strings, it doesn't have a metatable on it or anything.
Making it so that the emulated environment uses the real string table poses a problem in the multiple computers version, where each computer would share the same string api.

Why don't you use setfenv to use some sort of proxy to the string api for each computer? I don't know the internals of ccemu, but it should be possible :p

Well, basically, each time the computer "starts", it gets a new api set. The math, table, coroutine, string apis get copied into a new table to prevent:

1. Modifications of said table persisting after shutdown/reboot
2. Crashing CCLite by changing some function that it uses

As to how I'd do a proxy, not sure.
