[Soot-list] IMPORTANT - problem with SourceLocator

[Eric Bodden]

Just our of curiosity: The class file definition seems to have the souce
code location embedded, e.g. javap gives me "Compiled from
<nameOfSourceFile>" when I dump a class file. So is it not
possible/enough to rely on that information?
