Errors returned with luajit but not lua 5.4 about awesome HOT 2 CLOSED

Just a note, probably unrelated to this issue - After reading into the doc further I probably should be using awful.widget.only_on_screen for the wibox's, rather than if screen.index == foo.

from awesome.

So after testing the below code over the last few hours, I have not been able to reproduce the errors.

local function run_delayed_calls()
    require("gears.timer").run_delayed_calls_now()
end

if s.mywibox then
    s.mywibox.visible = false
    s.mywibox = nil
end
run_delayed_calls()
for _=1, 3 do
    collectgarbage("collect")
end

I'm not sure if there are any negatives to calling run_delayed_calls() in this context.

I also noticed the same errors when disconnecting my external monitor. Running the same code prevents the errors.

screen.connect_signal("removed", function(s)
    s.mywibox.visible = false
    s.mywibox = nil
    run_delayed_calls()
    for _=1, 3 do
        collectgarbage("collect")
    end
end)

As a non-programmer, my understanding (a best guess) is that run_delayed_calls() runs all delayed calls now, making sure signals are not sent to references that no longer exist. Regarding the gc, I assume it just cannot keep up.

I'll close this now since I can no longer reproduce the issue. Maybe i'll reopen if they pop up again.
