Error with AspectImplementation

[xareelee]

Although I've declared a protocol by @aspect() macro, but I will get null when invoking objc_getProtocol() in the @aspectimplementation macro, and get a run time error when using @aspectimplementation.

*** Assertion failure in BOOL ext_loadSpecialProtocol(Protocol *__strong, void (^__strong)(__unsafe_unretained Class))()

After I change the line in the aspectimplementation macro

interface NAME ## _AspectContainer : NSObject {} \

to this line with an explicit protocol declaration

interface NAME ## _AspectContainer : NSObject <NAME> {} \

everything is fine.

So I think the compiler might not compiler or include the non-using protocol.

EXTAspect only exists on the experimental branch, meaning it's not really supported or production-ready.

I appreciate your bug report, but I also expect that there are many more. 😉
