Details

(Keywords: meta)

FunctionBox has a two-phase initialization story: First, the constructor sets fields to default values, then depending on the context subsequently an initializer may be called.

This means that it's difficult to know at any given place in the code if queries on FunctionBox can be relied upon, making understanding and refactoring difficult.

This meta bug is about trying to clarify the story such that we can reliably use all the queries on FunctionBox whenever we have one, to make it less of a footgun abstraction.
