Hi all,

the simple pointcut definition below does not compile, as the compiler claims
the binding of the this-argument is ambiguous. However, this binding is sound,
reference theRefObj is bound to exactly one variable in each case.

Error message is:  "Ambiguous binding of type PointcutBinding using args(..) at
this line - formal is already bound.  See secondary source location for location
of args(..)".


public aspect PointcutBinding {
	public void method_1(String arg2) {
		System.out.println("method1:String");
	}
	public void method_2(PointcutBinding rep, String arg2) {
		System.out.println("method2:PointcutBinding, String");
	}
	public pointcut _pc(String aParameter, PointcutBinding theRefObj) :
	        (execution (public void method_1(String)) && args(aParameter) &&
this(theRefObj)) ||
	        (execution (public void method_2(PointcutBinding, String)) 
	        		&& args(theRefObj, aParameter) && this(PointcutBinding));
	before(String arg1, PointcutBinding refObj) :  _pc(arg1, refObj) {
		System.out.println("advice");
	}
}

Best regards,
