makegetter()

This function creates a function to get the value of an attribute.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Function No
Usage
getter = makegetter(table, attributeName)
getter
table
attributeName
Details
This function is useful for aliasing attributes to improve execution speed. Calling the function created with
makegetter() executes faster than accessing the attribute directly.
Creating a getter function is only useful if it is going to be called several times. Otherwise, the overhead of
creating the getter function outweighs the overhead of accessing the attribute directly.
Example
getRule = makegetter(channel, "connectrule")
...
r = getrule()
