Hooking my own functions

[Duugu]

Hey all

I'm trying to so find some performance leaks in my addons code. My first thought was to hook everything and to see how long it takes.

So I came up with this:

_, ProfilerTestAddon= ...
 
function ProfilerTestAddon:Test1()
    print("Test1")
end
function ProfilerTestAddon:Test2()
    print("Test2")
end
 
local function Profiler(self, fName, func)
    print("profiler:",fName, GetTime(), func)
end
 
for i, v in pairs(ProfilerTestAddon) do 
    if type(v) == "function" then
        hooksecurefunc(ProfilerTestAddon, i, function(self) Profiler(self, i, v) end)
    end
end

Works as expected.

But ... to see how much time function needs a post-hook via hooksecurefunc obv. isn't enough. So I tried this:

_, ProfilerTestAddon= ...
 
function ProfilerTestAddon:Test1()
    print("Test1")
end
function ProfilerTestAddon:Test2()
    print("Test2")
end
 
local function Profiler(self, fName, func)
    print("profiler IN:",fName, GetTime())
    func()
    print("profiler OUT:",fName, GetTime())
end
 
for i, v in pairs(ProfilerTestAddon) do 
    if type(v) == "function" then
        print("hooking", i)
        local tmp = v
        v = function(self) 
            Profiler(self, i, v) 
        end
        print(tmp == v)
    end
end

To my surprise that didn't worked.

It iterates the functions. The line print(tmp == v) returns false. I can call ProfilerTestAddon:Test1() and it does print "Test2". But that's it. Profiler() is not called.

What the hell could be wrong with it?

Even

for i, v in pairs(ProfilerTestAddon) do 
    if type(v) == "function" then
        print("hooking", i)
        local tmp = v
        v = nil
        print(tmp == v)
    end
end

doesn't break something. ProfilerTestAddon:Test1() does still work.
