[Soot-list] Pre-processing of Jimple Code

[Eric Bodden]

Hi all.

I have now repeatedly had reports of people who are trying to modify
Jimple code (adding methods etc.) before analysis. For this reason,
some time ago I added two new packs, wjpp and wspp, which both run at
the very beginning, but *only* if whole-program mode is enabled. This
causes trouble for people who are not interested in running in
whole-program mode, due to the associated costs.

Hence, I am now thinking of either modifying the PackManager to run
wjpp and wspp unconditionally, no matter whether -w is enabled, or to
add another pack that will be run unconditionally. I wonder what
people would prefer or if someone has an even better idea.

Best wishes,
Eric
