[Soot-list] StringBuffer or StringBuilder when performing string concatenation?

Yes. Many people complained about the use of StringBuilder because it
uses synchronization, which is unnessary if the strings only live on
the stack.

Well, this really depends on how you design your analysis.

Yes. This is because your will be using two totally different
frontends in both cases. But normally names really should not matter
to your analysis.

Hope that helps,
Eric
