讲讲table.insert

先看table.insert调用的C函数:

static int tinsert (lua_State *L) {
  int e = aux_getn(L, 1) + 1;  /* first empty element */
  int pos;  /* where to insert new element */
  switch (lua_gettop(L)) {
    case 2: {  /* called with only 2 arguments */
      pos = e;  /* insert new element at the end */
      break;
    }
    case 3: {
      int i;
      pos = luaL_checkint(L, 2);  /* 2nd argument is the position */
      luaL_argcheck(L, 1 <= pos && pos <= e, 2, "position out of bounds");
      for (i = e; i > pos; i--) {  /* move up elements */
        lua_rawgeti(L, 1, i-1);
        lua_rawseti(L, 1, i);  /* t[i] = t[i-1] */
      }
      break;
    }
    default: {
      return luaL_error(L, "wrong number of arguments to " LUA_QL("insert"));
    }
  }
  lua_rawseti(L, 1, pos);  /* t[pos] = v */
  return 0;
}

aux_getn最终调用的是luaH_getn函数获取此table的长度，
