[Sablevm-developer] using a Soot-transformed classpath

[Chris P. <chr...@ma...>]

Hi,

I want to make SableVM use Soot-transformed versions of the non-native 
portion of Classpath.  I have the output from Soot in the application 
directory where I try to run SableVM, but the classes aren't getting 
loaded even with '-c .' specified as an option.

What is the best way to do this?

For an application that transforms just gnu.* and java.* I tried:

cd ~/lib/sablevm/classpath
mv gnu gnu-old
mv java java-old
ln -s ~/path-to-sootOutput/java
ln -s ~/path-to-sootOutput/gnu

but that didn't work (cannot create vm).

Also, on a related note -- does anyone know of a good way to catch those 
classes which are only referenced from native code and thus not found by 
Soot?  (I'm assuming such classes exist for certain applications). 
Profiling SableVM for the application and then comparing against the 
Soot output for whole-program-including-classpath-transformation seems 
like the only realistic choice, but maybe I'm missing something (it's 
not difficult to do, but it's not a real analysis).

Cheers,
Chris
