[Soot-list] Virtualinvoke

[Zeinab Lashkaripour]

Thanks Quentin,
I'll try. 
Maybe that is because my real field of interest is not static Analysis but as part of my thesis I need it (fortunately or unfortunately). By the way I have only known Soot for a month and by a month I mean really less than that because I have to do lots of other things beside it.
I really find this mailing list useful and I hope that none of the nice friends that have helped me very much so far (like you) get tired of me until I finish my thesis.

Thanks in advance,
Zeinab

Hi,

I can't really judge of what you have seen or not seen.
Edges in the callgraph may be virtual-invoke calls when the exact target
method cannot be resolved statically. Most instance-method calls in Java end-up being virtual. Calls to static methods and private methods, on the other hand are statically resolved.

I noticed your questions are usually quite fuzzy, would you mind being more precise in the future?

Yes technically the Stmt interface extends the Unit interface. And you can check that by looking at the sub-interfaces and implementing classes of the Unit and Stmt interfaces in the java doc.
