[Soot-list] Question about SootsSurvivorsGuide (http://www.brics.dk/SootGuide/)

[Andrew Santosa]

I have replied to Jason previously in private email as my email was blocked 
from posting in soot-list by
googlegroups. This is a direct post to the soot-list Google groups, 
summarizing my replies. I hope they help
people having similar question.

1) PaddleTransformer is in paddle-0.3.jar archive here: 
http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/software/paddle-0.3.jar
You can also find a link to the archive from 
http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/paddle.
2) Figure 9 can be found in PointsToAnalysis.java in the source code 
example, in the method main and an expanded
version of Figure 10 can be found in setSparkPointsToAnalysis method of the 
same file.

It is likely that Soot will throw an exception on "Item" or "Container" 
class not found when one
tries to run the analysis. I use the command line to execute soot, so the 
following is only my own guess on
how properly set the project in case you want to run the analysis in 
Eclipse.

I think you need to compile pointsto/test/Item.java to Item.class and 
include its directory in
Java and Soot's classpath. That is, assuming Item.class is built as 
/some_path/Item.class,
you need to include /some_path/ as a class path in Eclipse by:

1. Right-click the project name in the Project Explorer -> Java Build Path 
-> Libraries -> Add Class Folder
-> select /some_path/ -> OK.
2. You need to modify PointsToAnalysis.java by adding the following as the 
first line in the main method:

soot.options.Options.v().set_soot_classpath("/some_path:<other_paths>");

Where <other_paths> stands for other paths you may need to include.

Regards,
Andrew
