Hi Jozsef, There isn't really anything formal I'm afraid. The pointcut parser is not generated from a grammar file in ajc. The team working on the abc compiler (alternative implementation of AspectJ) did write a formal grammar but I think we have diverged from that in recent years (I'm not totally sure). Did you need it for something specific? Those docs are getting quite old now and unfortunately we are not finding time to keep these kinds of area up to date with the implementation.
