[Soot-list] Experiences with memory consumption of FlowDroid

[Bernhard Berger]

Hi guys,

I’m trying to analyze some Apps with FlowDroid (latest nightly builds) and have some serious memory problems. :-( I picked some random Apps from Google Play and tried to analyze them. Sadly, my process gets killed by the OOM-Killer. I tried to reduce the memory consumption by using all options mentioned in [1].  Nevertheless, the process hits the -Xmx limit of 60g after some time.

What is your experience? How much RAM do I need to analyze Android Apps using FlowDroid?



Regards, Bernhard
