[aspectj-users] AspectJ semantics with args() and || pointcuts

[Ryan Golbeck <rmgolbec@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have a small test program to play with this that is causing me
confusion:

I have a base class:

public class BC {

  public void test1(int x, int z) {
  }

  public void test2(int y, int z) {
  }

  public static void main (String[] args) {

    BC test = new BC();

    System.out.println("--test1(10,12)");
    test.test1(10,12);
    System.out.println("--test2(11,13)");
    test.test2(11,13);
  }
}

And an aspect:


public aspect Aspect {

  before (int x, int y): (args(x,y) && execution(void BC.test1(..))) ||
(args(y,x) && execution(void BC.test2(..))) {
    System.out.println("[3] x: " + x + "; y: " + y);
  }
}

And the output I get from compiling this is:

--test1(10,12)
[3] x: 12; y: 10
--test2(11,13)
[3] x: 13; y: 11

When I would expect:

--test1(10,12)
[3] x: 10; y: 12
--test2(11,13)
[3] x: 13; y: 11


Is this a bug, or semantically correct?  Is there a document that is
more detailed than the programmer's guide that covers the semantics of
pointcuts like the one above?

I'm using AspectJ Compiler 1.5.1a built on Monday Apr 10, 2006 at
