[Soot-list] Applying soot on source code

[Linghui Luo]

Hi Christian,

Soot’s source code frond end for Java is not maintained for a long time.
However, I implemented this IRConverter https://github.com/MagpieBridge/IRConverter which leverages WALA’s Java source code front end and allows you to analyze source code with soot.
But for incomplete code, I suggest you to read this issue at first https://github.com/MagpieBridge/IRConverter/issues/1

Best regards,
Linghui Luo

Betreff: [Soot-list] Applying soot on source code

Dear all,

I'm currently trying to implement a custom backtracking for Java code, however I also want to allow for parsing "incomplete" java files, meaning that you can apply backtracking on e.g. main.java even though main.java has many imports. (This already works on C/C++ code using Joern and its fuzzy parser). I'm currently trying to solve this with the help of soot, but already got stuck on the question whether it is possible to apply it on source code and not class files and if so how?
I would highly appreciate answers to this :d

Best,
Chrsitian
