Hi! Thanks for the patch!

Some minor message fixes, one great gag from Mike’s code and a
test request.

Regards,
Sergos

At first I want you to put it as ’not found’ instead of ’not stored’. 
Then I start thinking over ‘on top’ for a vector and I got a strange
feeling... 


Now tell me, every time you put a LUD pointer to stack you have to roll
over all present segments in this '>>>' plain loop below?

--- a/src/lj_api.c
+++ b/src/lj_api.c
+#if LJ_64
+static void *lightud_intern(lua_State *L, void *p)
+{
+  global_State *g = G(L);
+  uint64_t u = (uint64_t)p;
+  uint32_t up = lightudup(u);
+  uint32_t *segmap = mref(g->gc.lightudseg, uint32_t);
+  MSize segnum = g->gc.lightudnum;
+  if (segmap) {
+    MSize seg;
>>> +    for (seg = 0; seg <= segnum; seg++)
>>> +      if (segmap[seg] == up)  /* Fast path. */
>>> +	return (void *)(((uint64_t)seg << LJ_LIGHTUD_BITS_LO) | lightudlo(u));
+    segnum++;
+  }
+  if (!((segnum-1) & segnum) && segnum != 1) {
+    if (segnum >= (1 << LJ_LIGHTUD_BITS_SEG)) lj_err_msg(L, LJ_ERR_BADLU);
+    lj_mem_reallocvec(L, segmap, segnum, segnum ? 2*segnum : 2u, uint32_t);
+    setmref(g->gc.lightudseg, segmap);
+  }
+  g->gc.lightudnum = segnum;
+  segmap[segnum] = up;
+  return (void *)(((uint64_t)segnum << LJ_LIGHTUD_BITS_LO) | lightudlo(u));
+}
+#endif
+

Can’t help to laugh at Mike’s /* Fast path */, brilliant isn’t it?
Perhaps addition of a new segment is not so often - and is counted to 256 -
so we can easily sort the array each time to make it log(n) rather (n) for
each lua_pushlightuserdata()?

This one tests the LUD push/pop to/fro stack. How about those

Can you add at least _some_ test to verify memprof is fine?
