[Soot-list] Soot and Java class path

[Steven Arzt]

Hi Naveen, 

 

Soot only prepends the Java classpath to the Soot classpath if you
explicitly specify the -pp or -prepend-classpath option. This is important
since you sometimes don't want the JDK on the Soot classpath. If you are,
for instance, analyzing Android applications, this could lead to wrong
results as Android uses its own framework which is slightly different from
the JDK. Another use case would be to run Soot with one Java version, but
analyze a Java program together with a different target JDK.

 

Best regards,

  Steven

Betreff: [Soot-list] Soot and Java class path

 

Hello,

 

I am working on writing an application that extends soot and I came across
some inconsistent behaviour. In the 2.5.0 version of Soot, all classes on
the Java classpath are also on the Soot classpath. However, for the nightly
build (as of today - 6/3/15), this is not the case and only those classes
explicitly specified with the -cp flag on the command line to the Soot Main
are on the Soot classpath.

 

Thus, for example, if the following command was run, then for Soot-2.5.0,
soot.package.TesterClass would be listed as an application class in
scene.getApplicationClasses(). Whereas, in the Soot-nightly, there would be
a ClassNotFound Exception. Assuming soot.package.TesterClass is present in
Tester.jar only.

 

java -cp Tester.jar soot.SootMain -cp some-dir soot.package.TesterClass
[other options]

 

This seems to be similar to the issue rockflying describes here:
https://github.com/Sable/soot/issues/284

 

Should I open up a new issue for this or is this the expected behaviour?

 

Thanks,
