Summary of Changes

Hello @phanen, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request refines the type definition within the emmylua_code_analysis project by correcting the return type annotation for the package.loadlib function. The change ensures that the type information precisely indicates that the function can return a loaded function or a string containing an error message, thereby enhancing the accuracy of static analysis and type checking for Lua code.

Highlights

  • Type Definition Correction: The return type annotation for the package.loadlib function has been updated to accurately reflect its behavior of returning either a function or an error string upon failure.

Code Review

This pull request corrects the return type annotation for package.loadlib in the standard library definitions. The original annotation was incorrect. Your change is a good fix, but I've provided a suggestion to make the type even more accurate by considering the behavior of package.loadlib in different Lua versions (5.1 vs 5.2+), where it can return a different number of error messages on failure.

---@param libname string
---@param funcname string
---@return fun():nil
---@return function?, string?

While this is a great improvement over the previous incorrect type, to be more precise, package.loadlib can return two error strings on failure in Lua 5.2 and later versions. On Lua 5.1, it returns one error string. To correctly type this for all versions, you can specify three optional return values. When fewer values are returned, the remaining ones will be nil, which matches the string? type.

This would make the type hint more accurate for users on modern Lua versions.
