With the changes from 6193534 it is safe to call
apply
even when doing field assignments: the right-hand side will not be a divisible compound (which we previously sought to protect from field expansion).This makes field sensitivity stateless, and all methods are
const
. They are not static, however, as the constructor initialises configuration options (which would otherwise need to be passed to each call).We can then also avoid a level of indirection through
apply
and callget_fields
directly in two cases.
