[Soot-list] Spark & Android Source Code no main class

Hi Jason,

 

You should never need to call „loadClassAndSupport“ on your own. This is done internally by Soot.

 

For creating a callgraph, you need an entry point. For normal Java applications, this is the main() method. You can either explicitly specify it or have Soot automatically select the only main() method in your Soot classpath.

 

The easiest way to get a callgraph is to call the Soot main method and pass the correct command-line parameters:

 

                -p cg.spark on                   This enables SPARK

                -process-dir                       Path to the classes you want to analyze

                -cp                                        Path to other classes that might be referenced from your analysis target

                -main-class                        The main class to use

 

After the call to soot.Main.main(), you should be able to access the callgraph.

 

A more involved example that calls the required parts of Soot manually goes here:

 

       public static void main(String[] args) {

             Options.v().parse(args);

             Scene.v().loadNecessaryClasses();

             SootClass sc = Scene.v()

                           .forceResolve("soot.Examples", SootClass.BODIES);

             sc.setApplicationClass();

             SootMethod method = sc.getMethodByName("main");

             List<SootMethod> entryPoints = new ArrayList<SootMethod>();

             entryPoints.add(method);

             Scene.v().setEntryPoints(entryPoints);

             Options.v().set_main_class(method.getSignature());

 

             PackManager.v().runPacks();

 

             CallGraph callgraph = Scene.v().getCallGraph();

             System.out.println("[TestSpark] Call graph size " + callgraph.size());

             

             for (Edge edge : callgraph)

                    System.out.println(edge + "");

 

       }

 

This is essentially what the normal Soot main method would do.

 

Best regards,

  Steven

Betreff: [Soot-list] Spark & Android Source Code no main class

 

I would like to build a callgraph for each class of the android framework and I am struggling.  I haven't found much in the way of documentation or examples for using SPARK in general.

 

I have a basic program that does the following:

 

public class DumpClass {

public static void main(String[] args) {

 

Scene.v().loadBasicClasses();

            SootClass mclass;

        mclass = Scene.v().loadClassAndSupport(args[0]);

        mclass.setApplicationClass();

 

            Options.v().set_whole_program(true);

            Options.v().setPhaseOption("cg.spark", "on");

            Scene.v().loadNecessaryClasses();

 

            Options.v().set_main_class(mclass.getMethods().get(0).toString());

            PackManager.v().runPacks();

 

        new SparkTest(mclass);

    }

}

 

Now, when I run this, I get: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: There is no main class set!

 

I'm not quite sure what to do with that or what to do next if this thing ever works.
