Slouken: What dictates the "current" addon?

I've been struggling with this for quite a while now, and it has led me into more confusion than I had been in before.

What dictates what is the "current" addon? i.e. the one that 2.1 says causes the CPU usage and memory gain.

do
	__bad__ = true
	local _,n = issecurevariable("__bad__")
	DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(n
)
	__bad__ = nil
end


That's what I've used to figure out the current addon, and seeing as I've been handling most of the Ace2 addon framework, it has been trouble to no end to shift the blame off of Ace2 and onto the respective addons.

Can any light be shed on this subject?

Q u o t e:

do
	__bad__ = true
	local _,n = issecurevariable("__bad__")
	DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(n
)
	__bad__ = nil
end



In this case, it's the addon that loaded the do ... end block that is billed for the CPU time in that code block.

It should be. Can you put together a simple test case?

BTW, CPU usage is tracked on the actual closure being executed. Memory usage is tracked based on the current taint, so they'll be slightly different.

Whichever AddOn defined the current function that's executing is the one that will be billed for CPU usage. I don't think there's currently a way to query that though.
