Fun or frustrating 🙂 That seems like a good April Fools Day thing. Although personally I’d never do it to code at work.

Yuck. Not the example – it’s a good example of your point. Just that I hate to think someone would create an aspect that completely undermines how Java works.

With enough template magic, you probably get a pizza delivered to your house.

public aspect ConstructorAspect {
pointcut constructorCall2(): call(StringBuilder.new(..));

StringBuilder around(): constructorCall2() {
return null;

I’ve been doing Java for so long my C++ is a little rusty.

If you disable exceptions in the C++ compiler the operator new return null pointer instead of throw a exception.

btw, I prefer the exception solution.
