However, there are a couple +of important changes that users ought to be aware of:</p> +<h3>AJDT Memory usage</h3> +<p>Type demotion has been in use during loadtime weaving for a while now, this enables the load time weavers to discard state +and recover it at a later time (and so generally run with a smaller memory footprint). Type demotion is now supported under AJDT +in Eclipse and will enable AJDT to run with smaller heaps. This feature is still experimental and needs turning ON if you want +to try it out. To turn it on, open your AspectJ project properties in eclipse and in the AspectJ Compiler section, scroll down to 'Other' and +in the non-standard compiler options setting, specify:</p> +<pre><tt>-Xset:minimalModel=true,typeDemotion=true</tt></pre> +<p>If I can get enough positive feedback about this option, it will be made the default. For a more detailed write up, check out +the blog post: +<a href="http://andrewclement.blogspot.com/2010/07/ajdt-memory-usage-reduction.html"> +http://andrewclement.blogspot.com/2010/07/ajdt-memory-usage-reduction.html</a> +</p> +<h3>Runtime changes</h3> +<p>A big thank you to Abraham Nevado and his team who have been working on some issues to optimize loadtime weaving and the +code generated by AspectJ. 1.6.10 includes some new changes to the aspectjrt.jar. The changes are new methods that enable +the woven code to be a little shorter/neater. As we want to continue to have compatibility with older aspectjrt.jar a user needs to +choose to activate these optimizations by specifying the option: <tt>-Xset:targetRuntime1_6_10=true</tt>. With that option on +you will need to ensure you run against the aspectjrt.jar from a 1.6.10 build.</p> +<p>The changes are discussed in <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=323438">bug 323438</a></p> + +<h4> +<!-- ============================== --> +</body> +</html> diff --git a/docs/dist/doc/index.html b/docs/dist/doc/index.html index 791418ec1..8b9588421 100644 --- a/docs/dist/doc/index.html +++ b/docs/dist/doc/index.html @@ -138,6 +138,7 @@ <tr> <td>README's </td> <td>Changes and porting guide for AspectJ + <a href="README-1610.html">1.6.10</a>, <a href="README-169.html">1.6.9</a>, <a href="README-168.html">1.6.8</a>, <a href="README-167.html">1.6.7</a>, |
