| Abstract | Research in the design of aspect-oriented programming lang uages requires a workbench that facilitates easy experimentation with new language features and implementati on techniques. In particular, new features for AspectJ have been proposed that require extensions in many dimensio ns: syntax, type checking and code generation, as well as data flow and control flow analyses. The AspectBench Compiler ( abc) is an implementation of such a workbench. The base version o f abcimplements the full AspectJ language. Its frontend is built, using the P olyglot framework, as a modular extension of the Java language. The use of Polyglot gives flexibility of syntax and type checking. The backend is built using the Soot framework, to give modular code generation and analyses. In this paper, we outline the design of abc, focusing mostly on how the design supports extensibility. We then provide a general overview of how to use abcto implement an extension. Finally, we illustrate the exten sio mechanisms of abc through a number of small, but non-trivial, examples. abc is freely available under the GNU LGPL. |
