[aspectj-users] wormhole pattern for benchmarking

[Alex Villazon <alex.villazon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
  I want to use the wormhole pattern to make some benchmarks of cflow  
using dacapo..

 I don't know if there is a generic wormhole that could be applied to  
any benchmark, in order to stress the execution of cflow.

 I was thinking something similar to this one, i.e. to capture the  
wormhole between the execution of the benchmark with the output  
produced..

aspect Cflow {

    pointcut output() : call(* *.println(..));

    pointcut main() : execution(* *.main(..));

    pointcut wormhole() : cflow(main()) && output() && !within(Cflow);

    before() : wormhole() {
        JoinPoint jp = thisJoinPoint; // just do nothing to measure  
the cost of dynamic joinpoint
    }
}

 The problem is that, each bench produces different output.. so it's  
not a fair comparison. (also println is probably not used to produce  
the output..)

  Second, it does not consider thread execution.

  Any ideas of a generic wormhole to stress cflow?

Thanks,

Alex
