RE: [aspectj-users] Parameter construction pointcut?

["Caplan, Josh" <jcaplan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't see why there couldn't be a precall join-point which preceded all argument evaluation.

f( g( h(), i( j() ) ), k() )

would match, in order, 

precall( * f( .. ) )
precall( * g( .. ) )
precall( * h( .. ) )
call( * h( .. ) )
	execution( * h( .. ) )
precall( * i( .. ) )
precall( * j( .. ) )
call( * j( .. ) )
	execution( * j( .. ) )
call( * i( .. ) )
	execution( * i( .. ) )
call( * g( .. ) )
	execution( * g( .. ) )
precall( * k( .. ) )
call( * k( .. ) )
	execution( * k( .. ) )
call( * f( .. ) )
	execution( * f( .. ) )

Your assumption is correct.

That is impossible because it is undecidable in general. Where does
parameter construction start in general? Not even a human being could
answer that question.

W.r.t. your problem: I doubt that parameter construction is a
bottleneck in your code if all the construction is as easy as in the
case you showed. Maybe a profiler would give you more insight.
