Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) aims at modularizing concerns such as profiling and security that crosscut the components of a software system. In AOP, a program consists of many functional modules and some aspects that encapsulate the crosscutting concerns. An aspect provides two specifications: A pointcut, comprising a set of functions, designate when and where to crosscut other modules; and an advice, which is a piece of code, that will be executed when a pointcut is reached. The complete program behavior is derived by some novel ways of composing functional modules and aspects according to the specifications given within the aspects. This is called weaving in AOP. Weaving results in the behavior of those functional modules impacted by aspects being modified accordingly. Recently we have developed an aspect-oriented functional language, AspectFun, for investigating various issues in introducing aspect orientation to a polymorphically typed functional language. Specifically, we have developed some novel techniques for static weaving of polymorphic aspects based on the notion advised types. Along with the type inference process, we employ a type-directed translation scheme which resolves all advice applications at static time and transforms AspectFun source programs into executable code in Haskell. We have also devised a monadic rewriting scheme to handle control-flow based pointcuts that requires knowledge of a program’s execution state. In this project, we shall carry on our work of AspectFun. Besides extending AspectFun’s core mechanism for future research, we shall investigate two issues of using aspects for enhancing program modularity and extensibility. First, in a purely functional language, a basic crosscutting concern is “side effect”, i.e., state manipulation via assignments. Indeed, even we can hide the hairy details of manipulating state by using the state-of-the-art technology of monadic assignments; we have to do a comprehensive rewriting of our functional programs. Unfortunately, typical aspects such as profiling and tracing are most naturally implemented using side effects. If we cannot handle side effects directly in an aspect, the modularity acquired through aspects will be greatly compromised. Therefore, we plan to extend AspectFun with side-effecting aspects which support state manipulation mechanisms such as user-defined variables and assignments directly. On the implementation side, we shall develop some compilation techniques which transform the pure-functional part into a monadic style, and weave in the aspects. The ultimate goal is to preserve the lazy semantics of AspectFun while being able to execute side-effecting aspects in a non-interfering way. Second, we shall investigate the feasibility of using aspects to address the type extension requirements as stated in the famous expression problem (which calls for language mechanisms that can support type-safe program extension in both the dimensions of data types and associated operations, yet neither code duplication nor code rewriting is required.) In general, it is easier to extend the set of operations than to extend the elements of a data type in a functional program. (By contrast, it is the opposite in an object-oriented program.) Here we plan to extend AspectFun with an inter-type declaration mechanism, following the spirit of that of AspectJ, to support type extension in a modular manner. Specifically, when a data type is extended with some new variants, we will employ aspects to define the required extension for the operations associated with the data type. Consequently, the entailed extensions of those operations can be modularly encapsulated in aspects.關聯 基礎研究
