WoW API: issecurevariable
Determinates if given variable or table is secure or "tainted". Any usage of a "tainted" (= non-secure) variable, be it a function or simply data, will break secure state and prevent further access to Protected functions.
issecurevariable()
Parameters
Arguments
- [table], variable
Return
- nil (tainted) or 1 (secure)
Example 1
local secure = issecurevariable( "JumpOrAscendStart" );
if not ( secure == nil ) then
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("OK! Given variable is secure!");
else
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Given variable is not secure, doing stuff with it will break secure status. :s");
end
Result
- JumpOrAscendStart is a protected Blizzard-defined function, thus secure. Calling it will not break secure status.
- Message "OK! Given variable is secure!" will get displayed in your chat frame.
Example 2
some_variable_not_defined_by_blizzard = "bla39_j!";
local secure = issecurevariable( "some_variable_not_defined_by_blizzard" );
if not ( secure == nil ) then
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("OK! Given variable is secure!");
else
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Given variable is not secure, doing stuff with it will break secure status. :s");
end
Result
- Message "Given variable is not secure, doing stuff with it will break secure status. :s" will get displayed in your chat frame.
Notes
- Seems to always return 1 for nil variables.
