[Soot-list] Pointer Assignment Graph for VTA

[patrick zhang]

Hi 
I am using VTA and points to analysis in spark. Interestingly, the
Pointer Assignment Graph construction time for VTA is MUCH longer than
the points to analysis, which is counter intuitive imho. Would you
please tell me that is there anything wrong with the parameters?
Thanks

For example:
The following comes from the result when I run vta on _201_JESS
The parameter to the soot is "--app -p cg.spark vta:true -w"
[Spark] Pointer Assignment Graph in 226.4 seconds.
[Spark] Type masks in 6.5 seconds.
[Spark] Pointer Graph simplified in 2.8 seconds.
[Spark] Propagation in 3.2 seconds.
[Spark] Solution found in 6.1 seconds.
