AI-generatedLua 5.4 bitwise operation precision on 64-bit integers
64-bit integer emulation in Lua 5.4 Lua 5.4 introduced bitwise operators that operate on values interpreted as signed 64-bit integers. However, the Lua number type is typically a double-precision float with a 53-bit mantissa, creating a potential conflict in how the interpreter handles values exceeding this threshold during bitwise transformations. When perf
