[Soot-list] A question on ShimpleTransformer

[Prakash Prabhu]

Hi,
I am new user to SOOT . I was trying to use the -ws option for tranforming 
the whole
program into SSA form and then to be able to work with the Shimple 
representation to
perform some SSA optimizations. I ran soot.Main.java in Eclipse with the 
following arguments:
-ws -output-format shimple --app MainClass

However, SOOT seemed to keep running for a long time. Upon debugging , it 
looks like :
ShimpleTransformer.internalTransform() seems to keep constructing the 
ShimpleBody
for each library method ( java.lang.ThreadLocal's methods, java.lang.Short's 
methods 
and so on ).

How do I make sure that all the library methods are excluded from SSA 
generation ?
( though intuitively, all these libraries should be included, it is taking a 
lot of time :-) )
Am I missing something while specifying the options ?

Also : How powerful are the API's for working with Shimple compared to that
for Jimple ? Do all the statements represented in Jimple have corresponding
statements in Jimple ? ( For eg, what is the Shimple equivalent of 
JAssignStmt ? )

If there is some obvious documentation that I could not have seen, please 
let me know.

Thanks,
Prakash
