[Soot-list] source code annotation with soot

[Eric Bodden]

Hi Jochen.

Soot does not really have support for this. Therefore your solution
appears appropriate. Having said that, I am reasonably sure that you
could also do this all in a single pass from within Soot: the abstract
syntax trees are still in memory until the end, but I am not sure how
hard it would be to get access to them. The default ASTs are JastAdd
based (http://www.jastadd.org/) but you can also get polyglot ASTs if
you use the -polyglot option when running Soot.
