It doesn't give any compiler or weaving errors, but unfortunately, AC++ 
doesn't seem to go in this LoggingAspect.cpp file. Everything in it is 
just ignored. It was also the first time I heard of using the .ah-files 
really just as a header. I'm using the ACDT, could that have something 
to do with it?

Greets,
