# LuaDecompy
An experimental Lua 5.1 dump decompiler (typically dumped using `luac -o <out.luac> <script.lua>`).
## Example usage
```sh
> cat example.lua && luac5.1 -o example.luac example.lua
pp = "pri" .. "nt"
if 2 + 2 == 4 then
_G[pp]("Hello world")
end
> python main.py example.luac
example.luac
==== [[example.lua's constants]] ====
0: [STRING] pp
1: [STRING] pri
2: [STRING] nt
3: [NUMBER] 4.0
4: [STRING] _G
5: [STRING] Hello world
==== [[example.lua's dissassembly]] ====
[ 0] LOADK : R[0] K[1] ; load "pri" into R[0]
[ 1] LOADK : R[1] K[2] ; load "nt" into R[1]
[ 2] CONCAT : R[0] R[0] R[1] ; concat 2 values from R[0] to R[1]
[ 3] SETGLOBAL : R[0] R[0] ;
[ 4] EQ : R[0] K[3] K[3] ;
[ 5] JMP : R[0] R[5] ;
[ 6] GETGLOBAL : R[0] K[4] ;
[ 7] GETGLOBAL : R[1] K[0] ;
[ 8] GETTABLE : R[0] R[0] R[1] ;
[ 9] LOADK : R[1] K[5] ; load "Hello world" into R[1]
[ 10] CALL : R[0] R[2] R[1] ;
[ 11] RETURN : R[0] R[1] R[0] ;
