What are the disadvantages of Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP)?

Question

What are the possible and critical disadvantages of Aspect-Oriented Programming?

For example: cryptic debugging for newbies (readability impact)

Answer 1

• Poor toolchain support - debuggers, profilers etc may not know about the AOP and so may work on code as if all the aspects had been replaced by procedural code
• Code bloat - small source can lead to much larger object code as code is "weaved" throughout the code base
