[Soot-list] Soot Dacapo Issue

[Eric Bodden]

Hi again.

Yes there’s the option -no-bodies-for-excluded, see here:
https://soot-build.cs.uni-paderborn.de/public/origin/develop/soot/soot-develop/options/soot_options.htm

It forces Soot to load JimpleBodies only for classes that are included in the command line. (see Application Mode Options in the same document)
Non-loaded classes are then represented as Phantom Classes with empty method bodies.

Hope that helps!

Best wishes
Eric

But when I tried to run Soot on these dumped classes, Soot had difficulty resolving classes that are not dumped but referenced by the dumped classes. I also tried "-allow-phantom-refs", and that couldn't fix it either. Both "out/" and dacapo.jar were in Soot's class path. Anyone know how to fix this? I just wanted to run Soot just on the argument classes, without having to resolve all referenced classes. Either suppressing this resolving or fixing it works for me. Thanks!
