[aspectc-user] Separation of advice declaration and definition

[Law, Colin]

Does the syntax allow the separation of the declaration and definition of an
advice (if those are the correct words). For example I have

aspect Asp
{
	pointcut p() = ....;
	advice p(): before()
	{
		....;
	}
};

Can I do something like

aspect Asp
{
	pointcut p() = ....;
	advice p(): before();
	
};

advice Asp::p() : Asp::before()
{
	...;
}

I tried this and it did not generate errors, but it also did not generate
any aspect code.


On a separate issue, I am running in a cross platform situation editing
files on a Windows platform, compiling with ac++ on a linux platform and
finally building the application on the windows platform again.  If I edit
one of the header files in my application and then compile with ac++, when I
go back to my editor it warns me that the header file has been modified by
another process (presumably the compile).  I assumed at first that ac++ was
touching the source file for some reason, but when I examine the properties
of the file the modified date does not appear to have changed.  Have you any
idea what might be going on?  It is not a major issue but is a bit annoying.
