[Lazarus] SEGFAULT: difference between pointer and dynarray?

[leledumbo]

> 1) from the source code of lua52.pas, how do you know the array parameter
to luaL_newlib() accepts only static array but not dynamic array?

No, I didn't say that. Only the pointer version is correct. The array
version is wrong despite the array type passed, this is due to the pointer
addresses being invalid (from one function call to another) maybe.

Lua API is consistent, it uses whatever C provides. Thus it can only accept
pointer, since C can only pass that as well.

We don't know yet, it's just my investigation. We need people with more
knowledge.

Better copy and paste the relevant parts, so the report is concise.
