[Soot-list] Class resolving with Soot

[Bernhard Berger]

Hi,

if you look into the source of SootResolver you will find that SootResolver.resolveClass calls SootResolver.makeClassRef. There the scene is asked whether it contains the class.If it is not in the scene it creates a new SootClass with level DANGLING and adds it to the scene. Afterwards, somewhere in SootResolver.processResolvingList soot tries to bring it to another level but fails and throws the exception. The second time you call the method Soot is able to find the dangling SootClass and returns it.

Regards,

Bernhard
