[Soot-list] couldn't find class: SableJBDD.bdd.JBddVariable

Ok, now I see. Do you require that method calls be de-virtualized? In
other words, for a call such as...

List l = new ArrayList();
l.clear();

... would it be ok if you just saw a call to List.clear() or would you
need to know that it is a call to ArrayList.clear()?

If the former suffices then you can actually go without a call graph
and just look at the individual method calls. In general, a call graph
does not really seem what you want in your setting, as it is really a
whole-program notion, and you have no such whole program.

As I wrote, the code does not really do what you want. It assumes a
whole program, starting at a main method, which is fundamentally
different from your case.

> How can I call soot so that it reads all the classes from a directory?

-process-dir is the right option there. But you need to disable -w,
which will also mean that you cannot use the call graph construction.

Hope that helps,
Eric
