[aspectj-users] Xlint:unmatchedSuperTypeInCall is unpreventable and unin

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

I’m getting this compiler warning (Xlint:unmatchedSuperTypeInCall) for a call( * T+.*( .. ) ) pointcut (defined on a per.  What amazes me about it is that there seems to be

1.       absolutely no way to put a declaring type T (other than “Object”) in the join point signature and still avoid this warning if someone, somewhere, calls an overridden method in T on a statically-determined supertype of T

2.       absolutely no information in the warning message about the where the call is that necessitated it, only that it exists somewhere

 

I suppose my join point signature could be call( * *( .. ) ), which I presume would blow my bytecode and latency up by a significant factor.

 

Is there any point to this warning?
