WoW Global Finder/Globals.lua
--[[

globals.lua (FindGlobals), a useful script to find global variable access in
.lua files, placed in the public domain by Mikk in 2009.

HOW TO INVOKE:
  luac -l MyFile.lua | lua globals.lua MyFile.lua
or:
  c:\path\to\luac.exe -l MyFile.lua | c:\path\to\lua.exe c:\path\to\globals.lua MyFile.lua

Directives in the file:

-- GLOBALS: SomeGlobal, SomeOtherGlobal
  The script will never complain about these. There may be multiple lines of these anywhere in the file, taking effect globally (for now). There is no way to un-GLOBAL an already declared global.

-- SETGLOBALFILE [ON/OFF]
  Enable/disable SETGLOBAL checks in the global scope
  Default: ON

-- SETGLOBALFUNC [ON/OFF]
  Enable/disable SETGLOBAL checks in functions. This setting affects the whole file (for now)
  Default: ON

-- GETGLOBALFILE [ON/OFF]
  Default: OFF

-- GETGLOBALFUNC [ON/OFF]
  Default: ON
