[aspectj-dev] Pertypewithin() and inner/nested type

[Ramnivas Laddad <ramnivas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How is pertypewithin() aspects state is associated with inner and nested 
types?

On most occasion (especially logging a la log4j), inner types (but not 
necessarily nested types -- declared using static) need to share the 
per-type state with the outermost type. However, a direct interpretation 
of pertypewithin() -- per type within (those matched by) the type 
pattern -- will make one think that inner and nested state will have 
*separate* state than the outer type.

This issue affects both pertype(Pointcut) or pertypewithin(TypePattern) 
the same way (I think). Hence a separate email to avoid confusion.
