Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is gaining popularity as a way of modularising cross-cutting concerns. The "aspectbench compiler" (abc) is a new workbench for AOP research which provides an extensible research framework for both new language features and new compiler optimisations. This poster presents the abc architecture, and example uses.
