[aspectc-user] calls to template members not matched

[Panu Bloigu]

Hello.

I've understood that weaving in template code isn't yet implemented in ac++
1.0pre3. However, on May 26th 2006 Olaf said on the list that:

I don't seem to be able to get even this to work. Again, please consider the
three following files I have:

===================
File 1: ClassA.h
===================
ifndef CLASSA_H_
#define CLASSA_H_
#include <iostream>
template<class T>class ClassA
{
public:
	ClassA();
	virtual ~ClassA();
	void m();
};
template<class T> ClassA<T>::ClassA(){}
template<class T> ClassA<T>::~ClassA(){}
template<class T> void ClassA<T>::m()
{
	std::cout<<"ClassA::m() called!\n";
}
#endif /*CLASSA_H_*/

===================
File 2: main.cpp
===================
#include "ClassA.h"
int main()
{
	ClassA<int> a;
	a.m();
	return 0;
}

===================
File 3: AnAspect.ah
===================
#ifndef ANASPECT_AH_
#define ANASPECT_AH_
#include <iostream>
aspect AnAspect
{
	advice call("void ClassA<...>::m()") : around()
	{
		std::cout<<"Before call\n";
		tjp->proceed();
		std::cout<<("After call\n");
	}
};
#endif /*ANASPECT_AH_*/

================================================================================

With the above shown three files, the call pointcut in AnAspect isn't
matched. I'm starting to suspect there's something wrong with my code,
because from Olaf's post I've understood that this should work.

So, is there something wrong with my code or do I have misinterpreted what
Olaf had said? At this point it would be a great feature to have at least
the calls to template code working.

Thanks in advance,

Panu.
