README for Running RQ1, RQ2, and RQ3 Experiments

• If you want to run without building use jars in eval_results and run by:
  • command = ["java", "-XX:+UseG1GC", "-XX:+UseAdaptiveSizePolicy", "-Xmx1024m", "-Xss1024m", "-jar", executable, "inputjar" , "solver", max_method, "cg_algo", "thread", "bodyinterceptors"]
  • inputjar are present in IDELinearConstantAnalysisClientSoot/src/test/resources/latest

RQ1: Generating Jimple and Verifying Body Transformers/Interceptors

• Before generating Jimple file, ensure the following body interceptors are turned on: jb,ls,jb.tr,jb.lns (since parser cannot take unknown nodes & doesn't recognise # var created by ls)
• Generate Jimple File:
  • Uncomment the generateJimpleOutputClass() method in BaseSetUp
  • This will generate the Jimple file located at sootupRes/sootUp.RQ1.jb_cp.JB_CP.jimple.
• Copy Jimple File:
  • Copy the generated Jimple file from sootupRes/sootUp.RQ1.jb_cp.JB_CP.jimple.
  • Paste it into jimplesrc/sootupjimplesrc/sootUp.RQ1.jb_cp.JB_CP.jimple.
• Run the Jimple-to-Bytecode Program:
  • Run the program located at src/main/java/soot/sootupjimpletobytecode
• Check Bytecode Output: The bytecode output will be located in sootOutput/sootUp or with respective package structure
• run by going to sootOutput/sootUp in cmd use "java sootUp.RQ1.jb_cp.JB_CP"

RQ2 & RQ3: Performance Comparisons for Soot & SootUp

• For both Soot and SootUp, use the following command-line arguments to run the experiments:
  • javapoet-1.13.0.jar default 50 CHA 1 jb.ls,jb.tr,jb.a
