Abstract:Compose? is a project that provides aspect-oriented programming for object-oriented languages by using the composition filters model. In particular, Compose?.NET is an implementation of Compose? that provides aspect-oriented programming to Microsoft Visual Studio languages. The compilation process of Compose?.NET contains multiple compilation modules. Each of them has their own responsibilities and duties such as parsing, analysis tasks and weaving. However, all of them suffer from the same problem. They do not support any kind of incrementality. This means that they perform all of their operations in each compilation without taking advantage of the results and efforts of previous compilations. This unavoidably results in compilations containing many redundant repeats of operations, which slow down compilation. To minimize these redundant operations and hence, speed up the compilation, Compose needs an incremental compilation process. Therefore, we have developed a new compilation module called INCRE. This compilation module provides incremental performance as a service to all other compilation modules of Compose. This thesis describes in detail the design and implementation of this new compilation module and evaluates its performance by charts of tests
