Abstract
The current application is directed to flexible and run-time-modifiable implementation of crosscutting functionalities, including code instrumentation, error logging, and other such crosscutting functionalities. These crosscutting functionalities generally violate, or run counter to, modern code-development strategies and programming-language features that seek to partition logic into hierarchically organized compartments and modules with related functionalities, attribute values, and other common features. One feature of the methods and systems for implementing crosscutting functionalities to which the current application is directed is an intelligent switch that can be controlled, at run time, to alter invocation and behavior of crosscutting-functionality implementations, including data-collection instrumentation, error logging, and other crosscutting-functionality implementations.
