“…As it wraps all the client code, not necessarily code that is targeted by pointcuts, AspectScript multiplies the execution time by a factor of 5 to 13. Achenbach and Ostermann define a meta-aspect protocol for developing dynamic program analyses [1], and provide a Ruby implementation.…”

With an initial motivation based on the security of web applications written in JavaScript, we consider the instrumentation of an interpreter for a dynamic analysis as a crosscutting concern. We define the instrumentation problem -an extension to the expression problem with a focus on modifying interpreters. We then illustrate how we can instrument an interpreter for a simple language using only the bare language features provided by JavaScript.

“…AOP has, for instance, been applied with some success to profiling [6] and runtime verification [1]. However, different domains have different needs, in particular in terms of the join-point model and, unfortunately, tracking information flows requires to operate at a granularity level not covered by our off-the-shelf weaver for JavaScript, AspectScript.…”

Abstract. In this position paper we argue that aspects are wellsuited to describe and implement a range of strategies to make secure JavaScript-based applications. To this end, we review major categories of approaches to make client-side applications secure and discuss uses of aspects that exist for some of them. We also propose aspect-based techniques for the categories that have not yet been studied. We give examples of applications where aspects are useful as a general means to flexibly express and implement security policies for JavaScript.

“…In [35], a meta-aspect protocol (MAP) is proposed to separate the host language from analysis-specific aspect languages. MAP supports an open join point model and advanced deployment methods (i.e., global, per object, and per block).…”

Dynamic program analysis (DPA) tools assist in many software engineering and development tasks, including profiling, program comprehension, and performance model construction and calibration. On the Java platform, many DPA tools are implemented either using aspect-oriented programming (AOP), or rely on bytecode instrumentation to modify the base program code. The pointcut/advice model found in AOP enables rapid tool development, but does not allow expressing certain instrumentations due to limitations of mainstream AOP languages-developers thus use bytecode manipulation to gain more expressiveness and performance. However, while the existing bytecode manipulation libraries handle some low-level details, they still make tool development tedious and error-prone. Targeting this issue, we provide the first complete presentation of DiSL, an open-source instrumentation framework that reconciles the conciseness of the AOP pointcut/advice model and the expressiveness and performance achievable with bytecode manipulation libraries. Specifically, we extend our previous work to provide an overview of the DiSL architecture, advanced features, and the programming model. We also include case studies illustrating successful deployment of DiSL-based DPA tools.
