RE: [aspectj-users] A Pointcut that matches nothing

["neil loughran" <loughran@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah I think I generally used to do some kind of boolean flag..  I remember
seeing something like following aspect in the Kiselev book (one of the first
AspectJ books I think)

e.g.

aspect AllJoinPointsAspect {

	private boolean TRACE = true;

	before(): if(TRACE) && !within(AllJoinPointsAspect) {
		System.out.println("->"+thisJoinPoint);
	}
}

One of those very useful pointcut designators I find.

That should be if(false). I'm aware that other constructs like the one
you suggest also work, but I was specifically looking for some "empty"
pointcut. I like the simplicity of it.

Cheers
