+/* Example to illustrate a problem with variable
+ binding and (||) in pointcuts. When run, this program produces
+ java.lang.ClassCastException immediately after
+ the call to "foo".
+
+ The reason is that the instance tests inherent
+ in the pointcut are done separately from the
+ variable binding.
+
+ Decompiled, the code produced for the relevant call
+ to "foo" is as follows:
+
+ --------------------------------------------------
+ DisjunctVarBinding.foo(r5, r4);
+ label_0:
+ {
+ if (r5 instanceof B == false)
+ {
+ if (r4 instanceof B == false)
+ {
+ break label_0;
+ }
+ }
+
+ IfPointcut.aspectOf().ajc$afterReturning$IfPointcut$26d(r5, (B) r4);
+ }
+ --------------------------------------------------
+ It should however read something like this, using the instance
+ tests to determine the appropriate variable binding
+
+ --------------------------------------------------
+ DisjunctVarBinding.foo(r5,r4);
+ if (r4 instanceof B)
+ IfPointcut.aspectOf().ajc$afterReturning$IfPointcut$26d(r5, (B)r4)
+ else if (r5 instanceof A)
+ IfPointcut.aspectOf().ajc$afterReturning$IfPointcut$26d(r4,(B)r5)
+ --------------------------------------------------
