When I changed the syntax of SS13.lua to account for the ability to properly index tables with datums, it turns out that the callbacks created for signal handlers and timeouts had circular references, resulting in hard-deletes.
My first solution was to make it so signal handler and timeout callbacks use weakrefs, which get resolved in lua_state/call_function, but it turns out that, when calling the signal cleanup function, a qdeleted-but-not-yet-garbage-collected datum's weakref resolves to null because datum.gc_collected is set to GC_CURRENTLY_BEING_QDELETED before COMSIG_PARENT_QDELETING gets sent.
To resolve this issue, Potato and Oranges both recommended that I make a snowflake variant of resolve which ignores whether the datum a weakref points to is qdeleted - only that it is null or it's weakref isn't the very weakref resolve was called on. This proc was given a lengthy autodoc comment describing when it should or shouldn't be used, to ensure it is only used in cases similar to the one I needed to create it for (needing to resolve a weakref to a datum in a COMSIG_PARENT_QDELETING handler registered on that very datum).
* preparations for self-referential list conversion
* additional changes for the auxlua 1.1.1 update
* fixed a type in `SS13.await`
* bumps auxlua to 1.2.0
* bumps auxlua to 1.2.1
Atomized from #68816, with a little addition. Fixes some dumb formatting issues with the lua editor, adds a "jump to bottom" button when viewing the state log, and paginates the state logs.
This PR fixes this issue by making sure every proc called in the stack of /proc/wrap_lua_print which could sleep is called using INVOKE_ASYNC, and to prevent such problems in the future, marks all the wrappers as SHOULD_NOT_SLEEP(TRUE). I also figured out how to fix the dumb overflowing problem of the lua editor ui.
Due to lag concerns regarding lua states with a large number of global variables (including fields within global tables), I have made it so the global table and state log are hidden by default - they can be shown using a toggle button in the editor ui.
