# Lua 5.2/5.3 features in CC: Tweaked
CC: Tweaked is based off of the Cobalt Lua runtime, which uses Lua 5.2. However, Cobalt and CC:T implement additional
features from Lua 5.2 and 5.3 (as well as some deprecated 5.0 and 5.1 features). This page lists all of the
compatibility for these newer versions.
## Lua 5.2

| `goto`/labels | ✔ | |
| `_ENV` | ✔ | |
| `\z` escape | ✔ | |
| `\xNN` escape | ✔ | |
| Hex literal fractional/exponent parts | ✔ | |
| Empty statements | ✔ | |
| `__len` metamethod | ✔ | |
| `__ipairs` metamethod | ❌ | Deprecated in Lua 5.3. `ipairs` uses `__len`/`__index` instead. |
| `__pairs` metamethod | ✔ | |
| `bit32` library | ✔ | |
| `collectgarbage` isrunning, generational, incremental options | ❌ | `collectgarbage` does not exist in CC:T. |
| New `load` syntax | ✔ | |
| `loadfile` mode parameter | ✔ | Supports both 5.1 and 5.2+ syntax. |
| Removed `loadstring` | ❌ | |
| Removed `getfenv`, `setfenv` | 🔶 | Only supports closures with an `_ENV` upvalue. |
| `rawlen` function | ✔ | |
| Negative index to `select` | ✔ | |
| Removed `unpack` | ❌ | |
| Arguments to `xpcall` | ✔ | |
| Second return value from `coroutine.running` | ✔ | |
| Removed `module` | ✔ | |
| `package.loaders` -> `package.searchers` | ❌ | |
| Second argument to loader functions | ✔ | |
| `package.config` | ✔ | |
| `package.searchpath` | ✔ | |
| Removed `package.seeall` | ✔ | |
| `string.dump` on functions with upvalues (blanks them out) | ❌ | `string.dump` is not supported |
| `string.rep` separator | ✔ | |
| `%g` match group | ❌ | |
| Removal of `%z` match group | ❌ | |
| Removed `table.maxn` | ❌ | |
| `table.pack`/`table.unpack` | ✔ | |
| `math.log` base argument | ✔ | |
| Removed `math.log10` | ❌ | |
| `*L` mode to `file:read` | ✔ | |
| `os.execute` exit type + return value | ❌ | `os.execute` does not exist in CC:T. |
| `os.exit` close argument | ❌ | `os.exit` does not exist in CC:T. |
| `istailcall` field in `debug.getinfo` | ❌ | |
| `nparams` field in `debug.getinfo` | ✔ | |
| `isvararg` field in `debug.getinfo` | ✔ | |
| `debug.getlocal` negative indices for varargs | ❌ | |
| `debug.getuservalue`/`debug.setuservalue` | ❌ | Userdata are rarely used in CC:T, so this is not necessary. |
| `debug.upvalueid` | ✔ | |
| `debug.upvaluejoin` | ✔ | |
| Tail call hooks | ❌ | |
| `=` prefix for chunks | ✔ | |
| Yield across C boundary | ✔ | |
| Removal of ambiguity error | ✔ | |
| Identifiers may no longer use locale-dependent letters | ✔ | |
| Ephemeron tables | ❌ | |
| Identical functions may be reused | ❌ | Removed in Lua 5.4 |
| Generational garbage collector | ❌ | Cobalt uses the built-in Java garbage collector. |
## Lua 5.3
| Feature | Supported? | Notes |

| `utf8` library | ✔ | |
| removed `__ipairs` metamethod | ✔ | |
| `coroutine.isyieldable` | ✔ | |
| `string.dump` strip argument | ✔ | |
| `string.pack`/`string.unpack`/`string.packsize` | ✔ | |
