ajc error msg

[Shin]

Hi all,

I am kind of confused by the following error message: when invoking,
"ajc -classpath ... FooAspect.java", where FooAspect reference types
from the classpath.

"FooAspect.java:68 error formal unbound in pointcut
pointcut run(A a, P p): (target(p) && args(a) && execute(public
P+.runa(A)));"

I don't see anything wrong with the pointcut I defined. And if the
error is unrelated to this pointcut (i.e., something wrong else where
trigger this), then it's just bad design choice in ajc. In any case,
this *is* the first error msg I got from ajc.

Thanks for any spotting,

-Shin

I don't know much about AspectJ, but it sounds like you suspect this to
be a bug in the compiler. If so, you may wish to try an alternate compiler,
abc, and see if this latter one accepts your code.

abc is supposed to be "almost compatible" with ajc. The differences are
