Abstract

AspectS is an approach to general-purpose aspect-oriented programming in the Squeak/Smalltalk environment. Based on concepts of AspectJ it extends the Smalltalk metaobject protocol to accommodate the aspect modularity mechanism. In contrast to systems like AspectJ, weaving and unweaving in AspectS happens dynamically at runtime, on-demand, employing metaobject composition. Instead of introducing new language constructs, AspectS utilizes Smalltalk itself as its pointcut language. AspectS benefits from the expressiveness of Smalltalk, its elegance and power.

The version of AspectS discussed in the text is 0.4.1 (2002-04-03, [8]).

AspectS is implemented in Squeak. Squeak is an open, highly portable Smalltalk-80 implementation. Its virtual machine is written entirely in Smalltalk. The terms Squeak and Smalltalk are used interchangeably in this text. There is also a port of AspectS to VisualWorks, another Smalltalk-80 derivative.
