[Soot-list] Pretty print

[Eric Bodden]

That should be quite straightforward. Simply add the following line to
your extension's ExtensionInfo class (within the "passes" method):

l.add(new PrettyPrintPass(INSPECT_AST,job,new
CodeWriter(System.out,70),new PrettyPrinter()));

You can see abc.aspectj.ExtensionInfo for an example.

>> Hi Christiane.
>>
>> Depending on what you are trying to do, this may be hard to
>> impossible. abc works by (1) transforming Java classes into Jimple and
>> AspectJ aspects into something called an AspectInfo. Then, abc (2)
>> weaves the Jimple code according to the AspectInfo and (3) produces
>> bytecode from the woven Jimple.
>>
>> Therefore you can only print out Java or AspectJ code before step (2),
>> i.e. before the weaving because no Java/AspectJ representation of the
>> woven program exists. If you want to print the un-woven Java/AspecTJ
>> code, I can tell you how to do that, but I fear that you are trying to
>> accomplish something else.
>>
>> If you want to convert the woven Jimple code back to Java you can try
>> to do so using the command line options "+soot -f dava -soot" to abc.
>> This is known to be buggy, though, and it will only produce plain Java
>> code. In other words, the generated code contains no pieces of advice
>> or pointcuts etc. but only appropriate advice methods.
