RE: [aspectj-dev] Missing node in the ASM

["Tore Steinmoen" <steinmoe@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, 

Thanks for answering. Actually, I found out why the nodes were missing the
day after I posted the message. I am using the ASM nodes in a metrics tool
that is calculating different source metrics like fan-in/fan-out, coupling
and cohesion. My solution to this problem is now to add an aspect that hits
on all field accesses and method calls and then disregard this aspect in the
calculation. This is not the best solution... So how can I access the AST
nodes?

Hi Tore,

The ASM has this slightly odd property of only containing sub-method level
nodes (e.g. a call site, field get/set, or exception handler) if those nodes
are advised.  This is because the model stays in memory, and it would cost
to much to store all of those elements.  Your message prompted me to note
this in org/aspectj/asm/overview.html (and finally start that document).

What are you planning on using the ASM for?  Some things are easier if you
get at the AST nodes directly.
