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")
-- (intervening code)
r = getrule()
Creates a getter function called
getRule.
When
getRule()
is called, it
returns the value of
connectrule
.

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
setRule = makesetter(channel, "connectrule")
r = setrule(channel.BREAK_BEFORE_MAKE)
Creates a setter function called
setRule
.
When
setRule()
is called, it
configures the setting for
connectrule
. In this example,
the connection rule is set to
break-before-make.
