[aosd-discuss] Most commonly advised joinpoints in practise?

[Ron Bodkin]

I almost always use execution. With load-time weaving, I think the balance
shifts quite a bit to favor execution because you can weave into (almost)
any type and you get faster weaving performance when you don't have to scan
through a large number of method bodies for calls. 

Even for build-time weaving, execution is more natural if your call pointcut
won't match reflective calls to a signature (as in AspectJ). If this is
automated by an AOP tool, I would wonder about runtime overhead.

I would be pretty sure that "call" is used most, in particular more
often than execution because you can match on calls to non-weavable
types, but not on their execution.

However I have no empirical data to back this (and I know of no study
of that kind).

Just out of interest: Why would it matter?
