Re: [abc-users] Obtaining jimplified advices in a ReweavingAnalysis

Thanks for your (very) swift reply Eric!

What I'm trying to do is to analyse advice essentially pre-weave-time
- the idea is to do some pre-processing on the advice such that when I
come to the analysis on the woven program I have some partial results
which can be reused in the analysis. Ideally I'd like to analyse
methods pre-weave-time as well - i.e. before invocations of advices
are included.

When you say getting the Jimple from an AdviceDecl, do you mean simply
getting the Methods associated with the Application Classes and
retrieving their bodies? That's what I'm doing presently, and as you
say around advice is a little tricky :)

Thanks again,
Nathan
