[Soot-list] simulating effects of native calls

[Eric Bodden]

Hi, Khilan.

As far as I know you cannot retrieve any body for these methods. The
simulation really only simulates the effects of these methods in the
"cg" phase, i.e. it adds appropriate call edges and computes
appropriate data flow for the points-to analysis. That's it.

When you say "Our analysis infers what objects are being accessed in a
given block of code." it sounds to me like you should be using
points-to info anyway. Aren't you?
