My only question is do we need helper functions added to TypeSystemClang to avoid this issue since we have GetNumChildren and GetChildAtIndex doing things differently? Some function both could/should be calling so that things can't get out of sync?


Yeah, that is what I suggested in the patch's summary. Do you want to block landing the fix until the refactoring is done? In my experience, the discussions about such refactorings can take weeks, I am not sure if I can commit to doing that. I am happy to put out a separate patch for the refactoring once this one is landed.
