Yes, I believe it would, but I do want to add two things:
- I don't consider it important whether most of the construction work happens
inside the DIERef constructor, or outside of it. So, I would consider these two
implementations equally fine
DIERef(DWARFDie die); // compute this somehow
DWARFDie::GetDIERef() { return DIERef(*this); }
vs.
DIERef(dwo_id, type_unit_flag, die_offset, ...); // a dumb constructor
DWARFDie::GetDIERef() { return DIERef(...); } // computation happens here
The first one is what you described -- the second one is how it roughly how it
works right now.
- My main source of frustration was that my concern is getting
overlooked/ignored (not necessarily your fault -- I've been told I am not
always sufficiently clear). I think that is something we could live with, if we
thing the other cleanups in this patch are worth it (which could very well be
the case) -- however, I would want us to be clear that's what we're doing.
