Details
This function is useful for aliasing attributes to improve execution speed. Calling the
setter
function will execute
faster than accessing the attribute directly.
Creating a
setter
function is only useful if it is going to be called several times. If you are not calling the
setter
function several times, it is more efficient to access the attribute directly.
Example
setlevel = makesetter(smua.source, "levelv")
for v = 1, 10 do
setlevel(v)
end
Creates a setter function called
setlevel.
Using
setlevel()
in the loop
sets the value of
smua.source.levelv
,
performing a source sweep.
