[dsdp-dd-dev] Always getting children of an expression

["Marc Khouzam" <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a reason why the VariableLayoutNode (and possibly others), requests the children of an _expression_ (IExpressions.getSubExpresions()) even though

the user has not expanded the _expression_ yet (efeectively not having requested the children)?  Could it be because we need to know if it has children, so as to know if the

_expression_ is expandable?   If that is the only reason, then we should probably use the new IExpressions.getSubExpressionCount() instead;  this would avoid going to the back-end to list all

children of an _expression_, when they may never be requested by the user.

 

Is there another reason for this?

 

Thanks
