Transcript

1. Magic development with Aspects Initiation to Aspect Oriented Programming App Dev Con 2017 - Amsterdam
2. About... Xavier F. Gouchet Android Architect Jenkins/Sonar Admin Bash / Python tools dev Bad Puns Advocate @xgouchet on Github, StackOverflow, Twitter, …
3. Goal for the afternoon What’s AOP The theory, and motivation How does it work A bit of technical details on byte code and compilation Concrete examples The part where you do the work and I relax… or not. @xgouchet
4. “ “Let's start at the very beginning (A very good place to start)” Julie Andrews @xgouchet
5. It’s NOT ... ◎ A new programming language ◎ Something to replace OOP ◎ The solution to all your problems ! @xgouchet
6. It is a tool to ... ◎ Enhance modularity ◎ Separate cross cutting concerns ◎ Focus on business logic ◎ Reduce noise in the source code @xgouchet
7. Cross-cutting concerns ? Any concern that is not business logic and appears everywhere @xgouchet
8. Cross-cutting concerns Logging Performances Security Transactions Validation Serialisation Cache Notification Multithreading Memoization @xgouchet
9. “ “Let me tell you a story (to chill the bones)” Iron Maiden @xgouchet
10. void foo() { Log.v("Tag", "foo"); beginTransaction(); try { bar(); // ... setTransactionSuccessful(); } catch (Exception e) { reportError(e); } finally { endTransaction(); } Log.v("Tag", "foo done"); } Before / After
11. void foo() { Log.v("Tag", "foo"); beginTransaction(); try { bar(); // ... setTransactionSuccessful(); } catch (Exception e) { reportError(e); } finally { endTransaction(); } Log.v("Tag", "foo done"); } Before / After
12. void foo() { Log.v("Tag", "foo"); beginTransaction(); try { bar(); // ... setTransactionSuccessful(); } catch (Exception e) { reportError(e); } finally { endTransaction(); } Log.v("Tag", "foo done"); } Before / After
13. void foo() { Log.v("Tag", "foo"); beginTransaction(); try { bar(); // ... setTransactionSuccessful(); } catch (Exception e) { reportError(e); } finally { endTransaction(); } Log.v("Tag", "foo done"); } Before / After
14. void foo() { Log.v("Tag", "foo"); beginTransaction(); try { bar(); // ... setTransactionSuccessful(); } catch (Exception e) { reportError(e); } finally { endTransaction(); } Log.v("Tag", "foo done"); } Before / After
15. void foo() { Log.v("Tag", "foo"); beginTransaction(); try { bar(); // ... setTransactionSuccessful(); } catch (Exception e) { reportError(e); } finally { endTransaction(); } Log.v("Tag", "foo done"); } Before / After
16. @Trace @SafeTransaction void foo() { bar(); // ... } Before / After
17. “ “I've been browsing… (... inspectin’)” Weird Al Yankovic @xgouchet
18. input[type=text] { font-family: monospace; } blockquote:before { content: '\201C'; font-size: 300%; font-family: serif; } #nav-home p { color: #FF4630; cursor: pointer; } .contact img:hover { border: 1px #004080; } CSS + HTML
19. CSS Attributes Changes in appearance applied to … Elements Nodes in the source code , defined by … Selectors Rules and patterns @xgouchet
20. “ “If you know how to use CSS, Then you know how to use AOP” …me @xgouchet
21. Pointcuts Rules and patterns JoinPoints Positions in the source code , defined by … Advices Changes in behavior applied to … Aspects @xgouchet
22. Advice New behavior (=code) @xgouchet
23. JoinPoint Almost every selectable step in bytecode execution @xgouchet
24. Pointcuts Description of a (list of) joinpoints where an advice should be applied @xgouchet
25. “ “You can knit a sweater by the fireside” The Beatles @xgouchet
26. Bytecode weaving AspectJ @xgouchet
27. Code Weaving class Foo {…} class Bar {…} class Baz {…} class Bal {…} @xgouchet
28. “ “It's time to get our hands dirty” Natalie Grant @xgouchet

30. Logging The “Hello World” of AOP @xgouchet
31. public Foo(); Signature: ()V Code: Stack=1, Locals=1, Args_size=1 0: aload_0 1: invokespecial #1; //Method java/lang/Object."<init>":()V 4: return LineNumberTable: line 1: 0 public java.lang.String getBar(); Signature: ()Ljava/lang/String; Code: Stack=1, Locals=1, Args_size=1 0: aload_0 1: getfield #2; //Field bar:Ljava/lang/String; 4: areturn LineNumberTable: line 5: 0 public void setBar(java.lang.String); Signature: (Ljava/lang/String;)V Code: Stack=2, Locals=2, Args_size=2 0: aload_0 1: aload_1 2: putfield #2; //Field bar:Ljava/lang/String; 5: return LineNumberTable: line 8: 0 line 9: 5 } JD-GUI : http://jd.benow.ca/ But what’s going on really ? @xgouchet
32. Monitoring Let’s measure things… @xgouchet
33. Retry Because sh*t happens @xgouchet
34. Threads Because #PerfMatters @xgouchet
35. Compile Checks Too many rules to remember @xgouchet
36. Aspects Order Finer control of all your aspects @xgouchet
37. Memoization Because computing is hard @xgouchet
38. Object Pool Hack your constructors @xgouchet
39. It’s just the beginning of the journey - Many other pointcuts - Inter-type declarations - Change class hierarchy - Add fields - Patch jar files @xgouchet
40. “ “It’s a kind of magic” Queen @xgouchet
41. Wizardry or Witchcraft @Aspect public class PreventNPEAspect { @Pointcut("within(com.example.model.*)") public void withinModelClass() {} @Around("withinModelClass() && execution(* *(..))") public void advice(ProceeJoinPoint jp) { Object[] args = jp.getArgs(); for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) { if (args[i] == null) { args[i] = ""; } } jp.proceed(args); } }
42. Wizardry or Witchcraft @Aspect public class PreventNPEAspect { @Around("execution(@PreventStringNPE * *(..))") public void advice(ProceeJoinPoint jp) { Object[] args = jp.getArgs(); for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) { if (args[i] == null) { args[i] = ""; } } jp.proceed(args); } }
43. “ “I wanna find some answers I wanna ask for some help ” Bruce Springsteen @xgouchet
44. FAQ ◎ What about stack traces ? Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException at com.sample.aspectMyAspect.myAdvice(MyAspect.java:666) at com.app.model.Foo.bar(Foo.java:69) at com.app.model.Foo.<init>(Foo.java:42) at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Native Method) <9 more> ◎ What about breakpoints ? Stepping through your code is ok ◎ What about proguard ? Obfuscation performed after weaving @xgouchet
45. “ “Forever in debt to your priceless advice” Nirvana @xgouchet
46. Bad practices and code smells ◎ Pokemon (gotta catch’em all) ◎ Wizard of Oz (pay no attention to the man behind the curtain) ◎ Dr Octopus (my left tentacle doesn’t know what my right is doin’) ◎ Inception (aspects within aspects …) ◎ MacGyver (the swiss army knife @xgouchet
47. Things to remember ◎ Focus on Cross Cutting concerns ◎ If you can do it more easily with OOP don’t use AOP ◎ You can only weave code you own @xgouchet
48. Writing Aspects… ◎ Inheritance, abstracts, generics, inner classes… ◎ Unit tests ◎ Android flavors ◎ AOP is real programming @xgouchet
49. “ “There’s somethin’ we can use, so don't say no” Toni Basil @xgouchet
