%
% \begin{abstract}
% In addition to the registers existing in \tex and \etex, \luatex introduces
% a new concept: attributes. This package takes care of attribute allocation
% just like Plain TeX and LaTeX do for other registers, and also provides a
% Lua interface.
% \end{abstract}

%
% \section{Documentation}
%
% \subsection{\tex interface}
%
% The main macro defined here is |\newluatexattribute|. It behaves in the same
% way as |\newcount|. There are also two helper macros: |\setluatexattibute|
% sets an attribute's value (locally, but you can use |\global| in front of
% it). |\unsetluatexattribute| unsets an attribute by giving it a special
% value, depending on \luatex's version; you should always use this macro
% in order to be sure the correct special value for your version of \luatex is
% used.
%
% Due to the intended use of attributes, it makes no sense to locally
% allocate an attribute the way you can locally allocate a counter using
% \file{etex.sty}'s |\loccount|, so no corresponding macro is defined.
%
% \subsection{Lua interface}
%
% The various Lua functions for manipulating attributes use a number to
% designate the attribute. Hence, package writers need a way to know the
% number of the attribute associated to |\fooattr| assuming it was defined
% using |\newluatexattribute\fooattr|, something that \luatex currently
% doesn't support (you can get the current value of the associated attribute
% as |tex.atrribute.fooattr|, but not the attribute number).
%
% There are several ways to work around this. For example, it is possible to
% extract the number at any time from the |\meaning| of |\foobar|.
% Alternatively, one could look at |\the\allocationnumber| just after the
% definition of |\fooattr| and remember it in a Lua variable. For your
% convenience, this is automatically done by |\newluatexattribute|: the number
% is remembered in a dedicated Lua table so that you can get it as
% |luatexbase.attributes.foobar| (mind the absence of backslash here) at any
% time.
%
% Also, two Lua functions are provided that are analogous to the above \tex
% macros (actually, the macros are wrappers around the functions):
% |luatexbase.new_attributes|\parg{name} allocates a new attribute, without
% defining a corresponding \tex control sequence (only an entry in
% |luatexbase.attributes| is created. It usually returns the number of the
% allocated attribute. If room is missing, it raises an error, unless the
% second argument (optional) is not false, in which case it returns -1.
%
% |luatexbase.unset_attribute|\parg{name} unsets an existing attribute.

%

attributes = {}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The allocaton function. Unlike other registers, allocate starting from 1.
%    Some code (eg, font handling coming from Con\tex{}t) behaves strangely
%    with \verb+\attribute0+ and since there is plenty of room here, it
%    doesn't seem bad to ``loose'' one item in order to avoid this problem.
%

    if not silent then
        texio.write_nl('log', string.format(

    end

%
%    Unset an attribute the correct way depending on \luatex's version.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
local unset_value = (luatexbase.luatexversion < 37) and -1 or -2147483647

%    The tests done are very basic: we just make sure that the package loads
%    correctly and the macros don't generate any error, under both LaTeX en
%    Plain TeX. We also check that the attribute's number is remembered well,
%    independently of the current value of |\escapechar|.
