[Lua] do .. while{} is converted to while do

[flashultra]

Not sure is this is a major problem, but when we initialize a variable in the first step and check it in while() at the end , the reordering ( passing null first before assigning ) can lead to a null error.
If this is expected behavior, please close the ticket.
Example

var num:BigInt_;
do {
	num = random(this.bitLength());
} while (BigIntArithmetic.compare(num, BigInt.ZERO) == 0);

BigIntArithmetic.compare will give error as num is null (for Lua)

I think #11807 fixed this, but please verify!

I couldn't run Haxe Lua on my local PC ( windows) , but on Github CI Lua failed ( https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/haxe/actions/runs/12349062541/job/34459213928#step:11:22058 ) . I'm not sure is this fix applied on Github actions CI or not.

It won't have applied the change unless you've merged development since the other PR was merged

Out of curiosity, what issues did you run into when trying to run it?

[flashultra]

It was a nightmare with dependencies; trying different versions of Lua (5.1 to 5.3); unable to install packages -
( lrexlib-pcre2 )

About the current issue - it works with #11807

Yeah it's a bit of a pain installing all the native dependencies on windows, hopefully they shouldn't be required to run a small program with a do while loop. In case they are for whatever reason, it should be possible to disable them with the -D lua-vanilla flag.
