[Tarantool-patches] [RFC 3/4] cfg: prepare symbolic evaluation of replication_synchro_quorum

[Mons Anderson]

Some feedback on behalf of Vlad Grubov:

Quote:

     Good idea, but it is not secure to export whole math to the 
configuration. User must not have access to math table itself because it 
can modify it's function which will take effect through entire 
application.    Moreover user must not have access to math.randomseed 
for security reasons. User is allowed to have access to ceil, floor, 
min, max, fmod, random, abs, sqrt.

So, I'd chande setfenv with:


setfenv(f, { N = %d, math = { ceil = math.ceil, floor = math.floor, abs 
= math.abs,
     random = math.random, min = math.min,  max = math.abs,
     sqrt = math.sqrt, fmod = math.fmod  } })
