[aspectj-users] pointcut to match "return" statements

[Sean Patrick Floyd <seanpfloyd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

is there any way for me to match "return null" statements statically?

I would like to create a policy enforcement aspect that forbids null returns unless the method is marked as @Nullable.

I'm aware this check wouldn't be perfect because it could always be tricked with a variable:

String result = null;

return result;

But still it would make finding errors much easier. Is there any such construct available?

Regards, Sean
