Handling of the interrupted OP_TAILCALL instruction

[Jure Bagić]

Just wondering if 'luaV_finishOp' relies on fall-through to the OP_RETURN
instruction in order to properly put results in correct place in case the
interrupted opcode is OP_TAILCALL (in case the called function is C and the
caller is Lua vararg function)?
(I see no other way, as 'default' case is empty.)

(I am not sure what you mean by "fall-through" here.) An OP_TAILCALL
is always followed by OP_RETURN. If OP_TAILCALL is interrupted, the
OP_RETURN will naturally be the next instruction to be executed and then
it will complete the task.

I had some confusion because all of the other instructions that can be
interrupted get directly handled in the switch statement and the others in the
'default' case require nothing else to be done for them except the OP_TAILCALL.
Thanks for clarification.
