[aspectc-user] Object file with aspectc++

Hi,

> 	ag++ testStudent.o -a test_1.ah
> 	g++ testStudent.o -o test
> ... 
> -First I generated .o file by typing: ag++ -c test.cpp test.h
> -Later on I used make command
> -It works fine...but if I change aspect file (.ah) only, it doesn't

ac++ is not able to introduce advice into object files. It is a source 
transformation tool and thus can only weave into source files (.cpp, .h 
etc). Your ag++ calls do not look right. It should be something like:

ag++ -a test_1.ah -o test test.cpp

Please refer to the ag++ manual 
(http://www.aspectc.org/fileadmin/documentation/ag-man.pdf) for detailed 
information on how it is used.

Best regards,
Matthias
