[Soot-list] How to create the statement: "v[i] = new Type(); " ?

In Jimple, local variables are always declared for the entire method
body. But why would that be a problem?

In practice this won't be a problem. During subsequent
transformations, Soot will "pack" all these different local variables
together, re-using them when necessary. Hence there's no problem with
using lots of them.
