[Soot-list] [Soot][FlowDroid] Running FlowDroid in whole-program mode (-w)

[Umar Farooq]

Hello Steven,

I am using FlowDroid API, The "SetupApplication" class has method "
initializeSoot" that is responsible to initialize soot, I have tried to set
the flag for whole program but it seems it is not working. Please, see the
code below.


private void initializeSoot(boolean constructCallgraph) {
        logger.info("Initializing Soot...");

        final String androidJar =
config.getAnalysisFileConfig().getAndroidPlatformDir();
        final String apkFileLocation =
config.getAnalysisFileConfig().getTargetAPKFile();

        // Clean up any old Soot instance we may have
        G.reset();

        Options.v().set_no_bodies_for_excluded(true);
        Options.v().set_allow_phantom_refs(true);
        if (config.getWriteOutputFiles())
            Options.v().set_output_format(Options.output_format_jimple);
        else
            Options.v().set_output_format(Options.output_format_none);
        Options.v().set_whole_program(constructCallgraph);
        Options.v().set_process_dir(Collections.singletonList(apkFileLocation));
        if (forceAndroidJar)
            Options.v().set_force_android_jar(androidJar);
        else
            Options.v().set_android_jars(androidJar);
        Options.v().set_src_prec(Options.src_prec_apk_class_jimple);
        Options.v().set_keep_line_number(false);
        Options.v().set_keep_offset(false);
        Options.v().set_throw_analysis(Options.throw_analysis_dalvik);
        Options.v().set_process_multiple_dex(config.getMergeDexFiles());
        *Options.v().set_whole_program(true);*
        System.out.println("Soot Initialization called");


Thanks,
Umar
