Fwd: [Soot-list] Newbie question: Getting a handle on Jimple via Java

[Eric Bodden]

Ah, I see. Yes you can do something like this:

 public class MyMain {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
                PackManager.v().getPack("wjtp").add(
                  new Transform("wjtp.myTransform",new SceneTransformer(){

                        protected void internalTransform(String arg1,
Map arg2) {

G.v().out.println(Scene.v().getSootClass("foo.TestClass"));
                        }

                });
                soot.Main.main(args);
        }

 }


 This first hooks a SceneTransformer into the "whole Jimple
 transformation pack" (wjtp) of Soot, see page 100 here:
 http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/soot/tutorial/pldi03/tutorial.pdf

 Within the transformer you then have access to all the classes
 directly from the Scene. Their methods contain Jimple bodies.
