Version 1.x

This is a constructor, which serves as a foundation of method decorators used by dcl.advise(). It is not intended to be used by end-users, and useful only for extending dcl itself.

Description

dcl.advise() produces objects based on dcl.Advice, which, in turn, is derived from dcl.Super. It is only useful for extending dcl.

By default a “before” advice (if present) is exposed as a property b on a decorator object, an “after” advice as a property a, and an “around” advice as a property f.

for(var name in o){
  var m = o[name];
  if(m && m instanceof dcl.Advice){
    console.log("Method " + name + " is decorated with AOP advices.");
    console.log("Before advice is " + (m.b ? "present" : "not present"));
    console.log("After  advice is " + (m.a ? "present" : "not present"));
    console.log("Around advice is " + (m.f ? "present" : "not present"));
  }
}

The example above is not going to work on fully constructed objects because by that time all dcl.Super objects would be replaced by generated functions.
