Eric Milles updated GROOVY-11159:
---------------------------------
Description: ClassNode is used to represent type declarations as well as
type references. There are a lot of data members that apply only to type
declarations. However, every reference pays the cost. ClassNode could have a
single reference to another class (essentially a struct) that holds all the
declaration information. With this, type references would only have one
reference (initialized to null) instead of all those fields. (was: ClassNode
is used to represent type declarations as well as for type references. There
are a lot of data members that apply only to type declarations. However, every
reference pays the cost. ClassNode could have a single reference to another
class (essentially a struct) that holds all the declaration information. With
this, type references would only have one reference (initialized to null)
instead of all those fields.)
