# Class ExpressionAsVariableSlot

java.lang.Object
org.codehaus.groovy.ast.ASTNode
org.codehaus.groovy.ast.AnnotatedNode
org.codehaus.groovy.ast.expr.Expression
org.codehaus.groovy.classgen.BytecodeExpression
org.codehaus.groovy.classgen.asm.ExpressionAsVariableSlot

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `GroovydocHolder<AnnotatedNode>`, `NodeMetaDataHandler`

public class ExpressionAsVariableSlot extends BytecodeExpression
Helper class that takes an Expression and if visited will load it normally, storing the result in a helper variable, which then can be requested after the visit is completed. A copy of the variable will stay on the stack. Subsequent visits will load the stored value instead of visiting the expression again
