[aspectc-user] Should AOP need a separate compiler ?

[Thirunavukkarasu, Ramasamy (IE10)]

Hi,

At the implementation level for AOP, AspectC++ provides a separate language
specification and a compiler for defining and compiling aspects. I have an
ambiguity in why do we need a separate language specification for describing
aspects and compile it separately. Are there any issues that can pop up if
we use the same C++ compiler by defining aspects in C++ ?

Thanks in advance,
