[aspectc-user] non-inline introduction

[Olaf Spinczyk]

Hi,

whenever a slice is introduced into a target class, the weaver will 
include the file that contains the slice definition in the file that 
contains the target class definition. The reason is that the file that 
contains the slice might also contain definitions that are needed for 
the slice members. By this means ac++ generates #includes. This behavior 
is documented somewhere in the compiler manual.

If your code contains slice introductions, this behavior might result in 
a cyclic include graph. ac++ detects this problem and reacts with an 
error message. Usually, the problem is caused by #includes in an aspect 
header file and an introduction into the included file by the same 
aspect. It helps to use a named slice definition and to move the slice 
definition into a separate aspect header file.

Cheers,

Olaf
