[aspectj-dev] thisJoinPoint and if() Performance

[Simon Heinzle <simon.heinzle@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

is there a reason why following pointcut & advice

	before() : execution(* BlaBla.*(..)) && if (someCondition) {
		JoinPoint jp = thisJoinPoint;
	}

is translated (in bytecode) to something like:

	[...]
	invokestatic <org/aspectj/runtime/reflect/Factory.makeJP>
	[...]
	invokestatic <...$if_0>

Invoking ...$if_0 before getting the Joinpoint makes more sense in my 
opinion and furthermore would increase performance (in case of 
SomeCondition = false) dramatically.

Regards,
Simon
