[Soot-list] Multiple instances of Soot

[Arzt, Steven]

Hi Gregor,



You might find G.reset() useful to reset all of the Singletons to their 
initial state. Afterwards, you can run Soot anew inside the same process.



Best regards,

  Steven

Subject: [Soot-list] Multiple instances of Soot



Hi everyone,



I have a program which in main() creates an instance of a class 'A' (for 
simplicity) which runs some analysis on an Android app using Soot (one 
instance of 'A' per app, instance never reused for other apps). As I need to 
run this on multiple Android apps, at the moment that would involve running my 
program in a script. I was hoping to be able to do this in a single invocation 
of my program, i.e. creating multiple instances of 'A' within main(). With the 
singleton classes in Soot, however, I am not sure of the implications for 
this. Doing this using multiple threads and very quickly ran into errors, 
which I think is due to these singleton classes. Would the only ways around 
this be either a single-threaded for-loop, or using multiple processes rather 
than threads? Or is there something I have missed that may allow me to have a 
different instance of Soot per thread? Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks
