[Soot-list] Error in the static inliner phase?

[Mario Mendez]

Hi again,

When invoking soot in a simple Hello World class

package examples;

public class Hello {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		System.out.println("Hello world");
	}

}


with the Whole program mode activated (copy of the ant parameters):

	  <arg value = "-f"/>
	  <arg value = "n"/>
	  <arg value = "-W"/>
	  <arg value = "-include-all"/>
	  <arg value = "--app"/>
	  <arg value = "-output-dir"/>
	  <arg value = "${ciao_lib}"/>	
           <arg value =  examples.Hello"/>



I obtain the following error:

      [java] Soot started on Thu May 03 12:24:00 MDT 2007

, which is not raised when the static inlining phase is deactivated (add 
this above):
	  <arg value = "-p"/>
	  <arg value = "wjop.si"/>
	  <arg value = "off"
