The data for AspectC++ incomplete or misleading in some points:

1) AspectC++ *is* OpenSource (GPL). Sourcecode and pre-built binaries 
for a number of platforms are available at http://www.aspectc.org
2) AspectC++ *does* support introductions.
3) The current implementation of AspectC++ *does  not* support 
joinpoints for variable access (get/set pointcut functions).

Joinpoints for variable access are, however, a major point on our 
constantly growing to-do list :-) We consider it as an important feature 
for the pure-C mode, which will be supported by the next major release 
of AspectC++.

Have fun!
