erroneous casts

[Anup Rao <arao@resnet.gatech.edu>]

Hello, I hope somebody can give me some hints on how to deal with my
problem.

I'm using soot as an api (at the Jimple level) to create a class. My
problem is that the code that soot generates sometimes has unexpected
(and incorrect) cast statements. This happens even though I'm not
dealing with any sort of cast expression explicitly.

I have sometimes been able to get rid of these statements by
reordering the statements that I add to the body.

I have also faced this problem when copying code almost verbatim from
a javac generated body.

Does anyone have any ideas about what might be causing these cast
statements?

Thanks.
