Help deciphering taintlog

[Petrah]

Could someone point me in the right direction, please? I cannot tell if the error is caused by AuldLangSyne or Autobar (or both?). It would help so I could give this log to the right author so that the addon can be fixed.

Thanks!

AuldLangSyne

[Petrah]

Thank you!

not necessary... AuldLangSyne loads that ace library.. but this might also be used by other addons.

[Dridzt]

No it's quite clear.
AuldLangSyne hooks GetFriendInfo and taints it.

Autobar just gets caught in a tainted execution path,
it doesn't touch the tainted global.

Yep. AuldLangSyne. This mod is also abandoned, iirc.

Someone is doing something to it... libs or something were updated for it on the ace file site 4 days ago. Perhaps others reported the issue and he's testing it. /shrug

I did email him with the error log, and also posted it over yonder. Hopefully it will get an update. I love that addon!

It's author hasn't touched it in a while. The update you see is from the move to the new wowace.

Can you recommend a similar addon that attaches to Fubar? I actually went further back to a previous release so I wouldn't have that error, and so far it's running ok. But I wonder if it'll break after tomorrow /pout s'more

[MoonWitch]

The thing is, Silenia, that AuldLangSyne colors the friends list etc. That's the cause of the taint, any addon hooking into friends/guild panel will cause taint. You're best off disabling those parts in the addon.

It's been updated, it's been updated.. RAWR!!!!!!!!
