If, at a +joinpoint where 'this'/'target' differ (for example at some call +joinpoints), the pointcut bound either 'this' or 'target' (but not +both), then the system would still expect the advice to pass both 'this' +and 'target' into the proceed call. With the fix here you only need to +pass what you bind. So if you bind only 'this' you don't need to pass +'target' (and vice versa). This will affect users that have been working +around this quirk by passing both 'this' and 'target'. That isn't +necessary anymore. This fix is in aspectjrt.jar so you will need to be +using the 1.8.10 version of aspectjrt.jar at runtime to pickup this +change. |
