Need help with AbbreviateLargeNumbers function

Hello, I have an issue with hooking AbbreviateLargeNumbers function. I'm trying to replace the value that this function returns, but my code doesn't work...

For example, this code doesn't work:

Code:

hooksecurefunc("AbbreviateLargeNumbers", function(value)
  local test = 100;
  return test;
end

If I replace a global function it works but cause some taint errors:

Code:

function AbbreviateLargeNumbers(value)
  local test = 100;
  return test;
end

taint.log:

12/13 00:08:54.625 Global variable AbbreviateLargeNumbers tainted by *** - Interface\AddOns\***\Core.lua:277

hooksecurefunc executes your code after the hooked function, but does not chain them together as in passing parameters or returns down the chain.

You could create your own function

Code:

local function MyAbbreviateLargeNumbers(val)
	local x = AbbreviateLargeNumbers(val)
	print(x, val)
	return 100
end
