[Soot-list] Getting jimple methods body

[Marc-André Laverdière]

Hello Mike,

When a statement is a method call, the Stmt object contains an
InvokeExpr statement, which will then have a SootMethodRef that
transparently gets resolved to a SootMethod. Since, by default, you have
a Unit object, you need to do something like this:

((Stmt)u).getInvokeExpr().getMethod()

As for getting the active body and the chain of units, the only caveat
is to check if there is an active body or not. Soot is fast-fail, so you
get an exception if you try to get a body when there isn't one.

I hope that helps!
