Re: How to use Soot for java inter-classes analysis?

[Chris Pickett <chris.pickett@mail.mcgill.ca>]

Hi,

Soot does support interprocedural analysis.  You can, for example, build 
a callgraph, extend SceneTransformer, and iterate over the reachable 
methods in some fashion using callGraph.getReachableMethods(), even 
mixing this with an intraprocedural analysis.

I suggest you read the Soot tutorials at:

http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/soot/tutorial/

and pay attention to the parts about "whole program optimization" and 
"whole program transformation".  You might also refer to the Soot API:

http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/soot/doc/index.html

If you mean something other than interprocedural analysis by 
"inter-classes analysis", you'll need to clarify what it is exactly that 
you want to do.

Cheers,
Chris
