[Soot-list] input parameters of a soot method

[Eric Bodden]

Hello.

>   Is there a way to extract the input parameters of a method in soot?

Yes that's possible.

Every Soot method with parameters starts with a list of IdentityStmt
objects. Those are just special assignment statement, i.e. have a
left-hand and right-hand side. For parameters the right-hand side
contains a ParameterRef. This, in turn, contains an ID number telling
you which parameter is assigned. To access the parameter, just use the
local on the *left*-hand side, as the ParameterRef is assigned to this
local.

If you print out Jimple code, these statements show up as "r3 =
@parameter1;" or so.
