[aspectc-user] Announcement of AspectC++ 1.0pre2

[Dimple]

Hi Olaf,
When I was using aspectc++ 1.0pre1 release, I was not getting any warning
messages. But I tried to use latest release 1.0pre2 to build ACE. It is
giving my countless warning messages like:

"warning: transformation within macro 'ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE'
../ace/Reactor.h:820: warning: transformation within macro
'ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE'
../ace/Thread_Control.h:78: warning: transformation within macro
'ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE'"

Thanks,
Dimple

> Hi,
> 
> the new AspectC++ release 1.0pre2 is now available from www.aspectc.org.
> We uploaded binaries for Linux, Solaris, MacOS X and Win32 (all
> statically linked). The sources and woven sources (for compilation

> The new version comes with the following new features:
> 
> Version 1.0pre2 (2005-12-21)
> 
>          * weaver improvements
>            - friend declarations are also woven into structs
>            - fixed handling of nested classes in template classes
>            - support for introductions into aspects
>            - generated constructors can now handle anonymous unions
>            - array wrappers (needed by generated copy constructors)
>              have been improved
>            - implemented call advice for conversion functions
>            - fixed call advice to functions that are declared as friend
>            - fixed generated code for call advice for unary and binary
>              operators if the call was located in a static member
>              function
>            - signatures of functions in namespace are now correct
>            - fixed problem with access rights of wrapper code that is
>              generated to implement call advice
>            - support for the 'virtual' keyword in function signature
>              match expressions
>            - fixed several bugs related to call advice
>            - fixed 1.0pre1 problem with execution advice for introduced
>              functions
>            - implemented several workarounds for VC++ parser problems
> 
>          * parser
>            - fixed numerous bugs (see bugzilla #269, #270, #272, ..)
> 
>          * improved debugging support, error messages, warnings
>            - #line directives for generated code fragments now point to
>              the location in the generated files
>            - the weaver now detects problematic code transformations
>              in macro-generated code and prints a warning. Other
>              transformations in the translation unit are not affected
>              by this problem anymore
>            - removed some useless warnings
> 
>          * improved project repository
>            - order advice is now listed in the repository
> 
>          * performance and generated code size
>            - header files with an include guard are not expanded anymore
>              in STU mode if the guard macro is already defined. This
>              reduces the size of the generated code enormously
>            - improved performance and code size by grouping
>              transformations
>            - fixed the performance problem that drastically increased
>              compilation time for SystemC application. The problem was an
>              inefficient algorithm in the name lookup code if the system
>              massively uses virtual inheritance.
>            - simplified the scanner to improve the performance
> 
>          * updated the quick reference sheet and the language reference
>            - virtual function matching
>            - intros into aspects
> 
>          * added a number of the test programs for every fixed problem
>            and new feature
> 
> Besides lots of bug fixes, especially for call and construction advice,
> this release improves the performance (> 30%). The severe performance
> problem of the 1.0pre1 release with the SystemC header file is also
> solved.
