Function luaD_precall

** Prepares a function call: checks the stack, creates a new CallInfo ** entry, fills in the relevant information, calls hook if needed. ** If function is a C function, does the call, too. (Otherwise, leave ** the execution ('luaV_execute') to the caller, to allow stackless ** calls.) Returns true iff function has been executed (C function). */
