[Soot-list] Tracking public static final fields

[oksana at ksu.edu]

Hello dear sooters,
I would like to track public static final fields, e.g., if I have

int i = Scrollbar.HORIZONTAL; //where Scrollbar.HORIZONTAL = 0

I would like Jimple that looks like

i = <java.awt.Scrollbar: int HORIZONTAL>;

In the past, I have used Java-to-Jimple front end of soot and it happily
preserved references to public static final fields. I recently updated
to the latest version of soot and even Java-to-Jimple transformation
seems to produce optimized code, where references to public static
final fields are replaced with their const values, i.e.,

i = 0;

Here is the question: are there some options in soot to avoid such
optimization or, given that optimization occured, is there some way to
still recover references to public static final fields?

Thank you,
Oksana.
