Soot phase options

[Genevieve ARBOIT <garboit@cs.mcgill.ca>]

Hi,

I'm currently trying out the different Soot phase options
(www.sable.mcgill.ca/soot/tutorial/phase-options).

I want to activate static inlining, so to compile my main class, "LCS", I
used:

> soot --app -W -a -p wjop.si VTA-passes:1 -p wjiop.si allowed-modifier-changes:safe LCS

I get the following error message, indicating a stack overflow (below).
Can I get rid of this error? Note that without the -a option, I got the
message: "java.lang.RuntimeException: VTA needs '-a' or '--analyze-context' 
switch to run correctly."

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
---------
