Fixed, thanks!

Right, fixed!

Fixed.

Fixed.

IMHO this variable name is less clear than using INT_MAX - 1.
Left without changes.

Updated:

  local tbl = {
    [INT_MAX] = INT_MAX,
    [INT_MAX - 1] = INT_MAX - 1,
  }
-local status, res = pcall(unpack, tbl, INT_MAX, INT_MAX)
-test:ok(status, 'unpack with INT_MAX: correct status')
+local res = unpack(tbl, INT_MAX, INT_MAX)
  test:is(res, INT_MAX, 'unpack with INT_MAX: correct result')
  
-status, res = pcall(unpack, tbl, INT_MAX - 1, INT_MAX - 1)
-test:ok(status, 'unpack with INT_MAX - 1: correct status')
+res = unpack(tbl, INT_MAX - 1, INT_MAX - 1)
  test:is(res, INT_MAX - 1, 'unpack with INT_MAX - 1: correct result')
  
  test:done(true)
