Re: [aspectj-dev] Annotation pointcut

[Andrew Clement <CLEMAS@xxxxxxxxxx>]

That is aspectj working as designed.
 Constructor patterns really have no return
type and if you specify one you get
an error.   What would you be trying to
say with the first variant?  That
a constructor returns an @Alien annotated instance?
The second variant says execution of
a constructor on an @Alien annotated type -
I guess thats what you want.

Subject	[aspectj-dev] Annotation pointcut

Hello,

i want to hit all constructors of classes with an @Alien annotation:

                
after(Object x) : execution((@Alien *) *.new(..)) && this(x) {

The result of this pointcut is a 'Syntax error on token "(",
"constructor patterns have no return type" expected'. When I
modify it a 
little bit to

                
after(Object x) : execution((@Alien *).new(..)) && this(x) {

it works as expected. The only difference is the missing 2nd "*"
in 
((@Alien *) *.new(..)) from the first try. Is it a bug (build 
20050225125806) or a misunderstanding from me?

regards
Oliver
