[furcas-discussion] Question regarding re-use strategy for foreach-produced elements

[Uhl, Axel]

Hi,

DelayedReferencesHelper.setReference(...) seems to implement some sort of re-use strategy for the elements produced by a foreach predicate. It uses a reusableResultElement obtained from a map earlier produced by setDelayedReferenceWithPredicate(...). The re-use is decided based upon whether the template found for producing the new element has a metaReference pointing to the class that is the type of the existing element.

What does it mean for such an element to be re-used instead of producing a new one? I would assume that there is a TextBlock that documents the execution of the old template used for the element's production. This, however, could be one that---while for the same class---uses a different mode and therefore entirely different property inits.

I can't find the code that would update the TextBlocks hierarchy in case of such a re-use across differently-moded templates being used. Bug?

Best,
-- Axel
