[Soot-list] Soot-like tool for C# instead of Java

[Eric Bodden]

This might interest you. I just found out that there is actually a commercial tool that translates C# code to the Java platform (and hence makes it analyzable by Soot).

	IKVM is an open source JVM for .NET... meaning that it translates Java bytecode to CIL.  Doesn't go the other way around, though.  Still, looking at their code might give some insights as to whether the other direction is possible.

		Hi, Elmar.
		
		The only "tool" in this direction I am personally aware of is the Phoenix framework. As I understand it's (still?) much less powerful than Soot but I think since it's actively supported by Microsoft it should be making progress. 
		
		I don't know any details about it, however. Does anybody else know any other tools?
		
		On the other hand I am wondering how different actually the bytecode representation of Microsoft's CIL is from Java bytecode. Could there be something like a CIL <-> Jimple bridge? Maybe pretty ambitious but I like the idea...
