possible equality bug with Lua thread objects?

[Cosmin Apreutesei]

Hi,

Is it possible to have thread1 ~= thread2 while tostring(thread1) ==
tostring(thread2) ?

The values come from coroutine.running(). Tested with jit on/off, lj
2.0.3-august5

I have run into this and I'm not sure if it's a bug or expected
behavior. Do threads have identity like tables?

Thanks.

No.

Different thread objects should compare unequal. It's a bug, if
not. I guess you'll need to come up with a short test case.

Ok, I'll try to narrow it down.
