 /*
-** About 'nCcalls': each thread in Lua (a lua_State) keeps a count of
-** how many "C calls" it still can do in the C stack, to avoid C-stack
-** overflow.  This count is very rough approximation; it considers only
-** recursive functions inside the interpreter, as non-recursive calls
-** can be considered using a fixed (although unknown) amount of stack
-** space.
-**
-** The count has two parts: the lower part is the count itself; the
-** higher part counts the number of non-yieldable calls in the stack.
-** (They are together so that we can change both with one instruction.)
-**
-** Because calls to external C functions can use an unknown amount
-** of space (e.g., functions using an auxiliary buffer), calls

-** by Lua, as a kind of "potential" calls. So, when Lua calls a function
-** (and "consumes" one CallInfo), it needs neither to decrement nor to

+** About 'nCcalls':  This count has two parts: the lower 16 bits counts
+** the number of recursive invocations in the C stack; the higher
+** 16 bits counts the number of non-yieldable calls in the stack.
