Using "code"

[Arkan]

I wonder if this method is safe? I tested it and it appears to work fine.
The reason I ask is because I have never seen anyone use it.

function test1 takes nothing returns nothing
  call BJDebugMsg("test 1")
endfunction

function testn takes nothing returns nothing
  call BJDebugMsg("test n")
endfunction

function blargh takes integer i returns nothing
  local timer t = NewTimer()
  local code func
  
  if i==1 then
    set func = function test1
  elseif i==n then
    set func = function testn
  endif
  
  call TimerStart(t,5,false,func)
endfunction

Do I need to null code?

i think, that would be safe.

and i dont think that you have to null code because you cant destroy code, its not a handle, just a pointer to a function, so why should you null it?

Nobody uses that because.. Why would you want to use that?
It's perfectly fine I think...

 

[PurgeandFire]

It works fine.

And no, you don't need to null code. It has the same rules as integers, reals, booleans, strings, and other specific permanent variables.

Alright thanks for clarifying that.
