变量 – 脚本尝试创建全局变量

我想将一个脚本加载到redis中,这将导出未来脚本执行所依赖的函数,但尝试定义全局函数失败,全局变量也是如此：

redis 127.0.0.1:6379> EVAL "function alex() return 3.1415 end" 0
(error) ERR Error running script (call to f_f24a5a054d91ccc74c2629e113f8f639bbedbfa2): user_script:1: Script attempted to create global variable 'alex'

如何定义全局函数和变量？

解决方法

查看文件scripting.c中的源代码

/* This function installs Metamethods in the global table _G that prevent
 * the creation of globals accidentally.
 *
 * It should be the last to be called in the scripting engine initialization
 * sequence,because it may interact with creation of globals. */
void scriptingEnableGlobalsProtection(lua_State *lua) {
    char *s[32];
    sds code = sdsempty();
    int j = 0;

    /* strict.lua from: http://Metalua.luaforge.net/src/lib/strict.lua.html.
     * Modified to be adapted to Redis. */
    s[j++]="local mt = {}\n";
    s[j++]="setMetatable(_G,mt)\n";
    s[j++]="mt.__newindex = function (t,n,v)\n";
    s[j++]="  if debug.getinfo(2) then\n";
    s[j++]="    local w = debug.getinfo(2,\"S\").what\n";
    s[j++]="    if w ~= \"main\" and w ~= \"C\" then\n";
    s[j++]="      error(\"Script attempted to create global variable '\"..tostring(n)..\"'\",2)\n";
    s[j++]="    end\n";
    s[j++]="  end\n";
    s[j++]="  rawset(t,v)\n";
    s[j++]="end\n";
    s[j++]="mt.__index = function (t,n)\n";
    s[j++]="  if debug.getinfo(2) and debug.getinfo(2,\"S\").what ~= \"C\" then\n";
    s[j++]="    error(\"Script attempted to access unexisting global variable '\"..tostring(n)..\"'\",2)\n";
    s[j++]="  end\n";
    s[j++]="  return rawget(t,n)\n";
    s[j++]="end\n";
    s[j++]=NULL;

    for (j = 0; s[j] != NULL; j++) code = sdscatlen(code,s[j],strlen(s[j]));
    luaL_loadbuffer(lua,code,sdslen(code),"@enable_strict_lua");
    lua_pcall(lua,0);
    sdsfree(code);
}

scriptingEnableGlobalsProtection的doc-string表明intent是通知脚本作者常见错误(不使用local).

看起来这不是安全功能,所以我们有两个解决方案：

可以删除此保护：

local mt = setMetatable(_G,nil)
-- define global functions / variables
function alex() return 3.1415 end
-- return globals protection mechanizm
setMetatable(_G,mt)

或者使用rawset：

local function alex() return 3.1415 end
rawset(_G,"alex",alex)
