[Soot-list] Introducing the ASM Frontend for Soot

[Steven Arzt]

Hi Soot Users,

 

I just merged the new ASM frontend for parsing Java “class” files into the
Soot develop branch. This frontend has been around in its own branch for
quite a while now, so we decided to go forward on that now. My student has
invested quite some time into testing it and sorting out a number of issues
and we now believe that it is sufficiently stable for productive use. ASM is
several times faster than Coffi, while supporting all of its features, so we
made it the default. If you find any issues with the new frontend, please
send me an e-mail.

 

If you need to, you can use the new “coffi” Boolean option from either code
or the command line to get back Coffi.

 

If you use ANT for building Soot, please note that there is a new line for
the path to the ASM library in ant.settings – just copy it over from the
ant.settings.template file.

 

Best regards,

  Steven
