In WoW Lua, each variable contains a taint value, a string that identifies the AddOn from where the variable originated.
In WoW Lua, each variable contains a taint value, a string that identifies the AddOn from where the variable originated.
=== Profiling ===
Because each variable is taint-tagged by whichever AddOn generated it, WoW Lua is able to compute the memory usage of any particular AddOn.
<pre>
void  lua_gcupdatesizes(lua_State* L);
lu_mem lua_gcgetsize(lua_State* L, const char* tag);
</pre>
Optionally, function performance can be profiled by turning on a flag (which is governed by the <code>scriptProfile</code> CVar).
You can read the results of the function profiler with:
<pre>
void      lua_gcupdatetimes(lua_State* L);
lua_Number lua_gcgettime(lua_State* L, const char* tag);
void      lua_gcgetfunctiontime(lua_State* L, lua_Number* flat, lua_Number* total, int32_t* ncalls);
void      lua_gcresettimes(lua_State* L);
</pre>
