[Soot-list] Identify virtual-call targets and library callee

[Cheng Zhang]

Hi Haipeng,

I think the call graph construction in Soot generally considers possible
callees of virtual call sites.
Have you tried the method edgesOutOf(Unit) of class CallGraph?
Would it be possible that missing call edges/callees are caused by
reflection?

SootClass has methods, like isApplicationClass(), isLibraryClass(),
isJavaLibraryClass(), which may be helpful to categorize callees.

Cheers,
Cheng
