Ok, thanks.

 

Would you mind raising a bug with a test case attached here?

http://abc.comlab.ox.ac.uk/bugs

 

That way we could try to consider this issue before the next release.

Hi,

I agree it should be an error, because it is not a pattern, it is a type
reference. I just wanted to use this switch to keep compatible with ajc,
because I am building a tool with abc in the background. Users usually
compile their programs with ajc and it would be strange if my tool says
it cannot compile a program that ajc compiled.

Thanks,
Thiago

Hello.

 

No, I am not aware of such a switch and in fact I am not sure why ajc
does not give you an error as well. Why should it not be an error to
reference a type which does not exist? It's certainly an error in any
Java program.

Hi,

abc sends an error when a type is not found in some pointcuts, where ajc
would just emit a warning. The following code, for example:

public aspect MyAspect {
   pointcut foo() : this(AClass);
}

Since AClass does not exist in the system, abc throws a "Could not find
advice formal or type "AClass"", while ajc just gives a warning. Is it
possible to send a command line argument to abc, so that this error
becomes a warning? I read the pdf with the command line options but
could not find that.

Best regards,
Thiago
