[Soot-list] Soot Dacapo Issue

[Zhou, Tong]

Hi Eric,

Thanks a lot! That worked! Sorry I am a little confused about the pia agent. So when I used pia to do a relay run, even if I don't specify the loading directory ("inDir"), it still report 857 classes are replaced. The second question is that when I do point "inDir" to transformed class directory, the new added replaced classes are less than the total number classes in the "inDir" directory. Shouldn't every class be used? Are some of them not loaded? Thanks!

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!
