[Soot-list] How transform local variables into class' s fields.

Note that this will only work if your program does not use any form of
recursion. In case of recursion you have multiple copies of the same
locals on the call stack and a single field is not enough to simulate
all those copies.

But about your problem...

I think I do not understand your question. The transformation
apparently shows up in the jimple code, and hence it should also show
up in the .class files that Soot outputs.
