[aspectj-users] announcing SCoPE compiler for AspectJ

[Hidehiko Masuhara <masuhara@xxxxxxx>]

We are pleased to announce the availability of SCoPE, an AspectJ
compatible compiler for optimizing conditional pointcuts (i.e., "if"
pointcuts).  SCoPE statically matches conditional pointcuts that do
not use runtime information, as well as built-in static pointcuts like
"call" and "execution".

A short example is the following advice declaration, which prints
messages on calls to lower-case methods:

  before(): call(* *) && if(thisJoinPoint.getSignature()
                            .getName().matches("^[a-z]+$")){
    System.out.println(thisJoinPoint);
  }

SCoPE weaves this advice declaration statically.  In other words,
there are no runtime evaluation of the expression inside the
if-pointcut.

We welcome your questions, feedback and comments.

Best regards,

Hidehiko Masuhara
