SootField referencing in a method body

[Emil Slusanschi <slusanschi@sc.rwth-aachen.de>]

Hi,

I am using a SceneTransformer to create a new Method (from an old one 
through a clone() ) and a new global Field (at the moment it's just a 
double). Then I am modifying the new/cloned Method with a 
BodyTransformer and I try to save a result, another double, in that 
global Field I defined in the SceneTransformer. The problem is, I cannot 
seem to get a Value from a SootField no matter what. And for a 
newAssignStmt I need one. I also tried with newInstanceFieldRef but how 
can I get a statement out of that? What I want is to have a global Field 
= method local. I guess that you got it by now that I have a problem 
with the call-by-value that Java uses :) and that I need to return to a 
method more than the original return value, and I would like to avoid 
using an Array(new return Type) with the old return value plus the new 
stuff that I create through the transformations that I am doing in the 
BodyTransformer. I hope I have been clear enough and if anybody has an 
ideea of how can I achieve what I want, I would be very grateful. And if 
you have a better idea of doing what I described, that would be even 
better...

Cheers,

Emil

PS. And by the way, Soot is a really good piece of work ;-)
