[Soot-list] Allocating memory to Soot

[Steven Arzt]

Hi Modhi,

 

The memory allocation is controlled by your Java VM, this is nothing Soot has any influence on. Hence, you cannot set it through Soot’s classes. How do you start Soot? If you just start it from Eclipse, there is a field in the run configurations dialog in which you can specify additional VM arguments. You can place your –Xmx4g or whatever you need there. I’m pretty sure other IDEs offer similar features.

 

Best regards,

  Steven

Betreff: [Soot-list] Allocating memory to Soot

 

Hi All,

 

while analyzing -jimplifing- an apk, I got the following error message:

Soot has run out of the memory allocated to it by the Java VM.
To allocate more memory to Soot, use the -Xmx switch to Java. 
For example <for 400MB>: java -Xmx400m soot.Main ...

How to allocate memory to soot knowing that it is not called from the command line?

I searched Options.v() and there is no option associated with that? 

 

Thanks,
