Hi Alexander,

Thank you for your detailed review and explanation. Really appreciate your
effort and time into this. And thank you for showing how to write
good-quality code.

There are several things that I want to clarify.

   1.

   I made a mistake copying code and renaming stuff from my code base.

   Thanks for pointing it out. Instead of using a HashMap<java.lang.Class,
   ThreadLocal>, a ConcurrentHashMap<java.lang.Class, ThreadLocal> should be
   used.
   2.

   id_assigned guard

   Thanks for pointing out that “after returning” advice works for nested
   constructors like this(11). I removed it.
   3.

   ThreadLocal

   From my understanding, ThreadLocal is a ConcurrentHashMap whose key is
   Thread and value is the object inside ThreadLocal.

   I think I didn’t make it clear. Using ThreadLocal means that I’m
   actually using *(ThreadID and MyID)* combined as the ID. And I ignored
   that ThreadID could be reused because I’m targeting for thread pools that
   use long-live threads. My current project requires my instrumentation to
   minimize introduction of any resource contention, so I tried to minimize
   introduced synchronization in this way.

   Using ConcurrentHashMap without proper synchronization doesn’t work, but
   using ConcurrentHashMap<XXX, ThreadLocal> with minimum synchronization
   (i.e., only synchronize when initializing the ThreadLocal - double check
   luckily works) does work. I put a test that could be compiled and executed
   here.

Test that shows it works

import java.util.*;
import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap;
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;

public class ConcurrentErrorTest {

  public static Map<MyClass, ThreadLocal<Long>> counters = new
      ConcurrentHashMap<MyClass, ThreadLocal<Long>>();

  public static long getMyCounter(MyClass clazz) {
    ThreadLocal<Long> local = counters.get(clazz);
    if (local == null) {
      // need to initialize the ThreadLocal
      // This is the only place that needs synchronization.
      synchronized (clazz) { // synchronize on the given clazz is enough
        // Double check to avoid multi threads entered the previous if statement
        if (local == null) {
          local = new ThreadLocal<Long>() {
            @Override
            protected Long initialValue() {
              return (long) 0;
            }
          };
          counters.put(clazz, local);
        }
      }
    }
    return (long) local.get();
  }

  private static void setMyCounter(MyClass clazz, long counter) {
    ThreadLocal<Long> local = counters.get(clazz);
    // This function is only called in incrementMyCounter() so it's not null.
    assert local != null;
    local.remove();
    local.set(counter);
  }

  public static void incrementMyCounter(MyClass clazz) {
    setMyCounter(clazz, getMyCounter(clazz)+1);
  }

  private static final java.util.Random RANDOM = new java.util.Random();
  // passed this unsafe test, but it takes a long time, please change
ConcurrentErrorTest.limit = 100 before testing with this method.
  public static void incrementMyCounterUnsafe(MyClass clazz)
      throws InterruptedException {
    long counter = getMyCounter(clazz);
    try {
      Thread.sleep(RANDOM.nextInt(10));
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
      throw e;
    }
    setMyCounter(clazz, counter + 1);
  }

  static final AtomicInteger errCount = new AtomicInteger();
  static final int numThreads = 10;
    static final int limit = 1000;


  // Mimic java.lang.Class<?> objects
  private static List<MyClass> keys;
  static {
    keys = new ArrayList<MyClass>();
    for (int j = 0; j < limit; j++) {
      keys.add(new MyClass(j));
    }
  }

  private static class MyClass {
    private int id;
    public MyClass(int id) {
      this.id = id;
    }
    @Override
    public String toString() {
      return Integer.toString(id);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException
  {
    long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

    List<Thread> threads = new LinkedList<Thread>();

    for (int i = 0; i < numThreads; i++)
    {
      Thread t = getThread();
      threads.add(t);
      t.start();
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < numThreads; i++)
    {
      threads.get(i).join();
    }

    System.out.println("Length:" + counters.size());
    System.out.println("Errors recorded: " + errCount.get());

    long stopTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
    long elapsedTime = stopTime - startTime;
    System.out.println(elapsedTime);
  }

  private static Thread getThread()
  {
    return new Thread(new Runnable() {
      public void run()
      {
          try
          {
            for (MyClass key : keys) {
              for (int i = 0; i < limit; i++) {
                getMyCounter(key);
                incrementMyCounter(key);
              }
            }
          }
          catch (Exception e)
          {
            System.out.println("P - Error occured: " + e.toString());
            e.printStackTrace();
            errCount.incrementAndGet();
          }

      }
    });
  }
}


Running it on my laptop costs 392 milliseconds. I also tested using your
method (replace the map and getter and incrementor function as follows), it
took 1566 milliseconds.

  private static final Map<MyClass, Long> counters =
      new ConcurrentHashMap<MyClass, Long>();

  public static synchronized long getMyCounter(MyClass clazz) {
      Long counter = counters.get(clazz);
      return counter == null ? 0 : counter;
  }

  private static synchronized void incrementMyCounter(MyClass clazz) {
      counters.put(clazz, getMyCounter(clazz) + 1);
  }

Extra synchronization needed in your method

In the constructor, an extra synchronization is needed (without this
synchronization, the incrementation would be correct, but 2
InstrumentedRunnableCallable could get the same ID):

  after() returning(InstrumentedRunnableCallable runnableCallable) :
    call(InstrumentedRunnableCallable+.new(..))
  {
    runnableCallable.setCreatorTID(currentThread().getId());

    // without this synchronization, the incrementation would be correct,
    // but 2 InstrumentedRunnableCallable could get the same ID.
    synchronized(instanceCounters) {
        runnableCallable.setId(getInstanceCounter(runnableCallable.getClass()));
        incrementInstanceCounter(runnableCallable.getClass());
    }
    // Use this instead in order to mess up instance counters
    //incrementInstanceCounterThreadUnsafe(runnableCallable.getClass());
    printLogMessage("[Create Runnable/Callable]", runnableCallable);
  }

After fixing bugs and refactoring for my previous aspect

   - Change the HashMap to ConcurrentHashMap
   - Removed _id_assigned guard.

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.concurrent.Callable;
import java.lang.Runnable;
import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap;
import java.util.concurrent.Future;

privileged aspect RunnablesCallables {

  public static Map<java.lang.Class, ThreadLocal<Long<>()>> _counters = new
      ConcurrentHashMap();

  public static long getCounter(java.lang.Class clazz) {
    ThreadLocal<Long> local = _counters.get(clazz);
    if (local == null) { // need to initialize the ThreadLocal
      synchronized (clazz) { // synchronize on the given clazz is enough
        // Check again to avoid multi threads entered the previous if statement
        if (local == null) {
          local = new ThreadLocal<Long>() {
            @Override
            protected Long initialValue() {
              return (long) 0;
            }
          };
          _counters.put(clazz, local);
        }
      }
    }
    return (long) local.get();
  }

  private static void setCounter(java.lang.Class clazz, long counter) {
    ThreadLocal<Long> local = _counters.get(clazz);
    local.remove();
    local.set(counter);
  }

  public static void incrementCounter(java.lang.Class clazz) {
    setCounter(clazz, getCounter(clazz)+1);
  }

  public interface InstrumentedRunnableCallable {}

  private long InstrumentedRunnableCallable._id = -1;

  // Java could reuse thread ID. Ignored for now since we target
thread pool that use long-live threads.

  // Records which thread created this Object.
  private long InstrumentedRunnableCallable._creator_tid = -1;

  public long InstrumentedRunnableCallable.getId() {
    return _id;
  }
  public void InstrumentedRunnableCallable.setId(long id) {
    _id = id;
  }

  public long InstrumentedRunnableCallable.getCreatorTid() {
    return _creator_tid;
  }
  public void InstrumentedRunnableCallable.setCreatorTid(long id) {
    _creator_tid = id;
  }

  declare parents: (Runnable)+ implements InstrumentedRunnableCallable;
  declare parents: (Callable)+ implements InstrumentedRunnableCallable;

  after() returning(InstrumentedRunnableCallable r):
      (call(InstrumentedRunnableCallable+.new(..))) {

      r.setCreatorTid(Thread.currentThread().getId());
      r.setId(RunnablesCallables.getCounter(r.getClass()));
      RunnablesCallables.incrementCounter(r.getClass());

  }

  Object around(InstrumentedRunnableCallable runnableCallable):
    this(runnableCallable) &&
    (execution(void Runnable+.run(..)) || execution(* Callable+.call(..)))
  {
    printLogMessage("[Before Runnable.run() / Callable.call()]",
runnableCallable);
    Object result = proceed(runnableCallable);
    printLogMessage("[After  Runnable.run() / Callable.call()]",
runnableCallable);
    return result;
  }

  private void printLogMessage(String prefix,
InstrumentedRunnableCallable runnableCallable) {
    System.out.printf("%s TID=%d, %s%n", prefix,
Thread.currentThread().getId(), runnableCallable.toStringIRC());
  }

  public String InstrumentedRunnableCallable.toStringIRC() {
    return getClass().getName() + "(instanceID=" + _id + ",
creatorTID=" + _creator_tid + ")";
  }

}

My aspect could be over-engineered for usual use cases.
Added extra needed synchronization in your aspect

  }

  // Only for demo purposes, can be deleted
  private static final java.util.Random RANDOM = new java.util.Random();
  private static void incrementInstanceCounterThreadUnsafe(Class<?> clazz) {
    long counter = getInstanceCounter(clazz);

    } catch (InterruptedException e) {

    }
    instanceCounters.put(clazz, counter + 1);
  }

  after() returning(InstrumentedRunnableCallable runnableCallable) :
    call(InstrumentedRunnableCallable+.new(..))
  {
    runnableCallable.setCreatorTID(currentThread().getId());

    synchronize(instanceCounters){

    }
    // Use this instead in order to mess up instance counters
    //incrementInstanceCounterThreadUnsafe(runnableCallable.getClass());
    printLogMessage("[Create Runnable/Callable]", runnableCallable);
  }

Hi Yongle!

ThreadLocal (TL) is not helping you here, as I said. Either you
misunderstand what TL does or it was just a simple error in your analysis
or maybe a refactoring artifact. Maybe in an older implementation of your
code it was somehow helpful, but certainly not here. Here is a refactored
aspect. I changed several things, among them the following:

   - As I said, no more ThreadLocal, i.e. also no more null checks.
   - Got rid of unnecessary boolean flag in the interface implementation.
   If you wanted to, you could just check if the ID or creator thread ID are
   != -1 in order to find out if the members have been initialised or not. But
   actually that is not necessary because the "after returning" advice for
   constructor calls will not trigger for super class constructors or calls
   like this(11) in constructors.
   - Made the accessor methods for the counters in the map synchronized.
   Synchronizing on whole classes like you did is a bit too much. I also got
   rid of the set* method, the increment* one is enough. I also made
   everything but getInstanceCounter(Class<?> clazz) private, and the
   latter is only public because the driver application uses it for checking
   if the counters are as expected.
   - Changed the static map into a ConcurrentHashMap. Actually this is not
   strictly necessary for this implementation because the accessor methods are
   already synchronised, but it does not hurt either.
   - Added a non-threadsafe method
incrementInstanceCounterThreadUnsafe(Class<?>
   clazz) which you can use to demonstrate how *not* to do it. This
   demonstrates that ConcurrentHashMap does not help at all if you just do
   synchronisation wrong.
   - Compounded your before/after advices into one around advice.
   - Factored out some redundant logging code into a helper method.
   - Renamed your members to use the Java standardNamingStyle instead of
   Non_standardScheme. I also got rid of the irritating "My_" prefix.
   - Also renamed members and accessor methods in the interface
   implementation.
   - Renamed the whole aspect.
   - Added some more complexity to the driver application with the sample
   classes in order to more properly test for concurrency.

ThreadLocal is used to avoid multiple threads creating objects of the same
class and need to increment the counter at the same time.

Thanks for your time reviewing it! I’d really appreciate it if you want to
help to refactor it.

I am happy you found a workaround for your problem, although it seems a bit

most of all I am irritated by the ThreadLocal. Why would you need that? You
are keeping only one ID (truly just a simple counter) per class. What are
you gaining by using the ThreadLocal there?

Thank you for your quick reply! Really appreciate your effort!

In terms of my original goal, I had to come up with some workaround.

The general idea is to just maintain a Map<java.lang.class, counter> by
myself. There’s some synchronization and optimization to do.

I’ll post here in case it’s helpful for others.

To make it clear, this method works for “inserting an ID for objects of
classes in any jar” except for rt.jar.

Okay, I think I figured it out. It is not per se a problem with the 3rd
party code, I can reproduce it with or without Thrift. The core problem is
that the inner class you want to instrument in the library is non-public.
To be exact, it is a private, non-static inner class. But what really
matters is that it is anything but public/protected, static or not is not
so important.

To Andy Clement: Maybe this is a shortcoming in AspectJ and we need a
Bugzilla ticket for it, but first I am going to post some sample code here:
------------------------------

package de.scrum_master.app;

public class Application {
  private static class InnerStaticRunnable implements Runnable {
    @Override
    public void run() {
      System.out.println("Running inner static runnable");
    }
  }

  private class InnerRunnable implements Runnable {
    @Override
    public void run() {
      System.out.println("Running inner runnable");
    }
  }

  public void doSomething() {
    new InnerRunnable().run();
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    new SomeRunnable().run();
    new Application.InnerStaticRunnable().run();
    new Application().doSomething();
  }
}

------------------------------

package de.scrum_master.aspect;

privileged aspect MyRunnables {
  public interface InstrumentedRunnable {}
  private long InstrumentedRunnable.myid = -1;
  public long InstrumentedRunnable.getMyid() { return myid; }
  public void InstrumentedRunnable.setMyid(long id) { myid = id; }

  declare parents : Runnable+ implements InstrumentedRunnable;

  after() returning(InstrumentedRunnable r) :
call(java.lang.Runnable+.new(..)) {
    System.out.println(thisJoinPoint);
    System.out.println("  Runnable: " + r);
    System.out.println("  Has aspect: " + PerRunnable.hasAspect(r.getClass()));
    long id = PerRunnable.aspectOf(r.getClass()).getCounter();
    r.setMyid(id);
    PerRunnable.aspectOf(r.getClass()).incrementCounter();
  }
}

------------------------------

package de.scrum_master.aspect;

privileged aspect PerRunnable pertypewithin(java.lang.Runnable+) {
  public long counter = 0;
  public long getCounter() { return counter; }
  public void incrementCounter() { counter++; }

  after() : staticinitialization(*) {
    System.out.println("getWithinTypeName() = " + getWithinTypeName());
  }
}

------------------------------

Now let's run the code after Ajc compilation and check the console log:

getWithinTypeName() = de.scrum_master.app.SomeRunnable
call(de.scrum_master.app.SomeRunnable())
  Runnable: de.scrum_master.app.SomeRunnable@5674cd4d
  Has aspect: true
Running some runnable
getWithinTypeName() = de.scrum_master.app.Application$InnerStaticRunnable
call(de.scrum_master.app.Application.InnerStaticRunnable(Application.InnerStaticRunnable))
  Runnable: de.scrum_master.app.Application$InnerStaticRunnable@65b54208
  Has aspect: false
Exception in thread "main" org.aspectj.lang.NoAspectBoundException
    at de.scrum_master.aspect.PerRunnable.aspectOf(PerRunnable.aj:1)
    at 
de.scrum_master.aspect.MyRunnables.ajc$afterReturning$de_scrum_master_aspect_MyRunnables$1$8a935d86(MyRunnables.aj:15)
    at de.scrum_master.app.Application.main(Application.java:24)

------------------------------

Please note "Has aspect: false" right before the exception. Now change the
inner classes to public or protected and the code works:

getWithinTypeName() = de.scrum_master.app.SomeRunnable
call(de.scrum_master.app.SomeRunnable())
  Runnable: de.scrum_master.app.SomeRunnable@5674cd4d
  Has aspect: true
Running some runnable
getWithinTypeName() = de.scrum_master.app.Application$InnerStaticRunnable
call(de.scrum_master.app.Application.InnerStaticRunnable())
  Runnable: de.scrum_master.app.Application$InnerStaticRunnable@65b54208
  Has aspect: true
Running inner static runnable
getWithinTypeName() = de.scrum_master.app.Application$InnerRunnable
call(de.scrum_master.app.Application.InnerRunnable(Application))
  Runnable: de.scrum_master.app.Application$InnerRunnable@6b884d57
  Has aspect: true
Running inner runnable

------------------------------

Any comments, Andy?

More information

   - The part of the code that’s causing the exception - this is decompiled
   from the woven .class file:

public class TThreadPoolServer {

    public void serve() {

  . . .

  TThreadPoolServer.WorkerProcess var13;

  TThreadPoolServer.WorkerProcess var10000 = var13 = new

  TThreadPoolServer.WorkerProcess(client, (<undefinedtype>)var10);

  // The exception says here afterReturning throws the exception


  
EpredRunnablesCallables.aspectOf().ajc$afterReturning$EpredRunnablesCallables$1$8a935d86(var13);

  . . .

  }

 // inner class
  private class WorkerProcess implements Runnable,
InstrumentedRunnableCallable {
        public long myid; // inserted by aspectj

        . . .

    }

}


   - Question: how does pertypewithin() work? what’s its scope?

For example, pertypewithin(Runnable+) - does it work every class in the
classpath, even including those in rt.jar? When does it create instance for
every class that implements Runnable (after class loading, on demand, …)?

Thank you!

Hi,
Problem

I have some aspects trying to insert an ID for every class that implements
Runnable.

My aspects (provided below) works fine for a simple test in which 1) I
wrote my own MyRunnable class implementing Runnable, 2) I have a simple
main function that creates and runs a thread using MyRunnable.

However, when I use it to instrument apache thrift library, it gives me
org.aspectj.lang.NoAspectBoundException exception.

I use compile-time weaving. The compile-time weaving finishes successfully,
and the instrumented .class code shows the aspects was woven. However,
running the instrumented apache thrift lib gives this excetpion:

(MyServer is my simple server implementation using thrift.
TThreadPoolServer is the server class in apache thrift lib.)

org.aspectj.lang.NoAspectBoundException

    at MyServer.StartsimpleServer(MyServer.java:21)
    at MyServer.main(MyServer.java:28)

My Aspects

Here are the aspects I wrote:

1) I have a counter for each class implements Runnable using pertypewithin.

privileged aspect PerRunnable
    pertypewithin(java.lang.Runnable+)
{
  public long counter = 0;

  public long getCounter() {
    return counter;
  }

  public void incrementCounter() {
    counter++;
  }
}

2) I insert an id into each class that implements Runnable using interface.

privileged aspect MyRunnables {

  public interface InstrumentedRunnable {}

  private long InstrumentedRunnable.myid = -1;

  public long InstrumentedRunnable.getMyid() {
    return myid;
  }

  public void InstrumentedRunnable.setMyid(long id) {
    myid = id;
  }


  declare parents: (Runnable)+ implements InstrumentedRunnable;

  after() returning(InstrumentedRunnable r):
      call(java.lang.Runnable+.new(..)) {

      long id = PerRunnable.aspectOf(r.getClass()).getCounter();
      r.setMyid(id);

      PerRunnable.aspectOf(r.getClass()).incrementCounter();

  }

}

3) Part of my scripts that only instruments thrift:

CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:~/aspectj1.9/lib/aspectjtools.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:~/aspectj1.9/lib/aspectjrt.jar
AJC=~/aspectj1.9/bin/ajc

echo "Compiling Aspects ..."
$AJC -classpath $CLASSPATH:./lib/libthrift-0.11.0.jar -source 1.8 asp/*.aj

echo "Weaving aspect into thrift lib..."
$AJC -classpath
$CLASSPATH:./lib/servlet-api-2.5.jar:./lib/httpcore-4.4.1.jar:./lib/slf4j-api-1.7.12.jar:./lib/httpclient-4.4.1.jar
-source 1.8 -inpath ./lib/libthrift-0.11.0.jar -aspectpath ./asp/
-outjar ./my-libthrift-0.11.0.jar


4) Part of my scripts that starts the thrift server:

CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:~/aspectj1.9/lib/aspectjtools.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:~/aspectj1.9/lib/aspectjrt.jar

java -cp 
$CLASSPATH:./asp:./my-add-server.jar:./my-libthrift-0.11.0.jar:./lib/slf4j-api-1.7.12.jar
MyServer

Need Help

   1. Has anyone met such problem before? Any guess? Note that these
   aspects works for my own Runnable but not for thrift lib. (I can send more
   code needed including my test classes and my scripts, but they don’t fit
   within an email…)
   2. Is there a way to get all aspect instances and what they are matched
   to at runtime?
   3. Does aspectj has this feature: given 1) a pointcut, 2) the signature
   of a target (class/method) I want the pointcut to match, tell me whether
   they matched, and if not why.

Thank you for your time and help!
