Re: [abc-users] Tagging AspectJ Compiler

Hi,
a few more questions regarding tagging.
There is an instruction kind value for residue evaluation: ADVICE_TEST
in InstructionKindTag, but when I compile the example below with
tagging enabled, that tag is not used.

The pointcut is:
        pointcut cond(int x): call(* A.foo(int))
                && target(B)
                && args(x)
                && if(x<3);

and the base code is:
                A a = new B();
                a.foo(x);

There are two tests in the residue: whether the object is actually an
instance of B, and whether the argument is less than 3. But the
bytecode instructions that perform thoses tests are tagged as
ADVICE_ARG_SETUP.
Am I missing something?

Regards,
g
