[great-users] Will this work or crash?

[Attila Vizhanyo]

Those objects which are marked deleted twice are deleted only once in
the generated code. So it is not a problem. The same goes for the GR
Engine, I believe.

-Attila


The second question was regarding the different matches. In this case
once an object is deleted and it is tried to be deleted again, GReAT
should ignore it. Feng and Attila could you please say if this is the
current behavior of GRE and CG.

Thanks,
Adi
