Thanks for pointing out my mistake. Your example works fine but now the
luacall is no longer protected and will therefore fully expand in
\edef. So do I understand this correctly that there is no way to make
the second \the\test work?
\directlua{
lua.get_functions_table()[999] = function()
tex.pri
nt("\string\\numexpr 17\string\\relax")
end
}
\tt
\directlua{token.set_lua("test", 999)}
\meaning\test\par % expandable luacall 999
\edef\x{\test}\meaning\x\par % macro:->\numexpr 17\relax
\the\test % 17
\directlua{token.set_lua("test", 999, "protected")}
\meaning\test\par % luacall 999
\edef\x{\test}\meaning\x\par % macro:->\test
\the\test % ! You can't use `luacall 999' after \the.
\bye
