RE: [aspectj-users] Withincode pointcut??

Ok, I have to admit that the difference in semantics you point out looks
strange. I can only estimate that it has to do with the execution
pointcut semantics or invokevirtual (used for non-private methods) vs.
invokespecial (used for constructor execution) bytecodes.

The other point is that - I know this is not a satisfying answer - your
pointcut specifications do not make much sense. What does it mean if you
state that a method execution (or constructor execution) should occur
within the code of a method? Either this is always the case or never?
Maybe execution(* g()) && cflow(withincode(* f())) or something like
this is what you actually want to express.

Still, it's an interesting observation. Maybe the ajc guys can shed some
light on us.
