RE: [aspectj-users] Parameter construction pointcut?

["Seva Popov" <seva_popov@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, maybe not a parameter construction pointcut but something else.

Looking at the source code like this:
logger.debug("Entry number: " + i + " is " + String.valueOf(entry[i]));

a human being can formulate: "I do not want any operations on parameters
for the method logger.debug()".

Since a human being can formulate this, why a program can't?

That is impossible because it is undecidable in general. Where does
parameter construction start in general? Not even a human being could
answer that question.
