"Zorba, why are you doing manual memory allocation in Lua? That's incredibly stupid! You, as well, must be incredibly stupid. Why are you so stupid?"

Yeah. Yeah, that's what I thought too. It turns out things are more complicated than I thought.

There's a few good reasons to do something this ugly.

First off, it makes it real, real easy to track where allocations are going. That's what the whole "tag" thing is for - all created tables are tagged. This is useful. This is very, very useful, as it lets me track down memory leaks extraordinarily easily. This is also obsoleted slightly by the technique in bst_pre.lua (check it out.)

Second, it deals far better with table churn. I don't know if this is a WoW issue, but in WoW at least, tables can hang around for quite a while before getting garbage-collected. If you're making a dozen tables per frame, you can rapidly eat 10 or 20 megs of RAM that you're not actually using. Rigging an explicit thing like this allows you to recycle those tables instead of just wasting them.

It's ugly. I'm not arguing that. But it really, really helps.
