Hey everyone,

If possible, could someone explain what the const_calls_only parameter does in Expression.execute()? I may have an idea of what this parameter might do but I'm not completely sure.

Some points I am wondering about specifically if I set const_calls_only to true:

  • What will I no longer be able to call in expressions?
  • Might there be a performance difference?
  • Does this at all improve/worsen the security concerns of Expressions if I am also setting the base_instance?

Thanks in advance for any help.
