Re: [aspectj-users] Match all method calls with a specific parameter ty

[Andy Clement <andrew.clement@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you want to use args directly for binding, the normal (not all that
pretty) solution right now is:

pointcut havingAConnectionParameter1(Connection conn): call(* *(..))
&& args(conn,..);
pointcut havingAConnectionParameter2(Connection conn): call(* *(..))
&& args(*,conn,.. );
pointcut havingAConnectionParameter3(Connection conn): call(* *(..))
&& args(*,*,conn,.. );
pointcut havingAConnectionParameter4(Connection conn): call(* *(..))
&& args(*,*,*,conn,.. );
pointcut havingAConnectionParameter5(Connection conn): call(* *(..))
&& args(*,*,*,conn,.. );
pointcut havingAConnectionParameter6(Connection conn): call(* *(..))
&& args(*,*,*,*,conn,.. );

obviously you need as many variants as the max number of arguments,
but more than 6/7 arguments then I think the code you are advising has
other problems ;)

there are open enhancement requests relating to this.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=160509
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=233718

The second one is interesting as it discusses a lot of possible syntaxes.

cheers,
Andy.
