The Soot framework for Java program analysis: a retrospective
Eric | October 10, 2011To appear at the Cetus Users and Compiler Infastructure Workshop:
Soot is a successful framework for experimenting with compiler and software engineering techniques for Java programs. Researchers from around the world have implemented a wide range of research tools which build on Soot, and Soot has been widely used by students for both courses and thesis research. In this paper, we describe relevant features of Soot, summarize its development process, and discuss useful features for future program analysis frameworks. Download PDF here

International Workshop on the State Of the Art in Java Program Analysis (SOAP 2012)
Eric | September 28, 2011Co-located with PLDI 2012 in Beijing…
Soot has enabled hundreds of users to carry out research in static analysis of Java. As Soot enters its second decade, the first SOAP workshop will bring together the thriving Soot community and help catalyze the future development of the Soot framework. We anticipate that SOAP will help spur discussions and collaborations between different groups using Soot. The agenda for SOAP will also include discussions and work on integrating external contributions into the main Soot framework, as well as explorations of potential future extensions to Soot.

TamiFlex 2.0 is out
Eric | September 25, 2011I am happy to announce the availability of TamiFlex 2.0.
This new release includes a couple of bug fixes but also some important changes and new features.
The Play-Out Agent is now extensible: you can add your own instrumentation probes if you like. By default, the agent can now log many more reflective calls than before. The probes, as well as other options, are now configured through configuration files. Neither agent accepts command-line options any longer. We highly recommend reading out documentation on those files.
Also we make available, for the first time, an Eclipse Plugin that allows you to play-out and play-in directly from within Eclipse.
The Play-In Agent and Booster did not change much.

Nightly builds of Clara, Soot, JastAdd, Jasmin…
Eric | July 18, 2011
Thanks to my colleagues Marcel and Johannes I have now been able to set up nightly builds for Clara, Soot, JastAdd and the Soot version of Jasmin on our server in Darmstadt. Please help yourself!
Nightly builds of TamiFlex will follow.
If you want to build Clara yourself, please proceed as follows. Type:
svn co http://clara.googlecode.com/svn/trunk-with-deps clara-with-deps
This will checkout clara and all dependencies into clara-with-deps. To build Clara, open the directory build and then execute the ant script there. That should be all.
P.S. Note that we are not longer building Polyglot from scratch, as the polyglot-based frontend to Soot is deprecated now. It has been replaced by a frontend based on JastAdd.
