[aspectc-user] Weaving question

[Francisco Afonso]

Hi,

I wrote some days ago a Logging aspect and it is working fine, but 
frequently I have to monitor variables and class instances inside a method 
or function. For this I wrote a nop(...) function in the base code that 
would be called inside my methods with different number and types of 
arguments. As it did not work, I wrote this simple test program to show what 
I am trying to do.

//----------- main.cc ----------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>

void nop(...){};

class MyClass {
public:

   int doit ( int aa ) {
     int bb;

     bb = aa * 5;

     nop(bb);

     return (bb + 2);
   }
};

int main() {

  MyClass mine;

  mine.doit(2);

}

// ---------- nop.ah ----------------------------
#include <stdio.h>

aspect myAspect {

   pointcut log (int zz) = args(zz) && call ("void nop(...)");

    advice log (zz) : before(int zz)  {

      printf("The local value is %d \n", zz);

   }
};

------------------------------------------------------------

The ac++ program does not generate a call to the advice code at the 
"nop(bb)" in main. Why ? Doesn't it conform with the pointcut definition ?
