Re: how to view xml output file

[Feng QIAN <fqian@sable.mcgill.ca>]

It depends on what kind of analysis results (e.g., CHA, RTA, VTA). I will
suggest you use CHA because it is easy and no interprocederal analysis,
I imagine your scheme should not care about which analysis is used,
but the set of possible targets of each virtual call. So here is the way
to get information from CHA:

Hierarchy h = new Hierardy();

// invokeExpr has the type of InvokeExpr, and meth should be a virtual one
SootMethod meth = invokeExpr.getMethod(); // this is target (virtual)
SootClass  cls  = meth.getDeclaringClass();

List possibleTargets = h.resolveAbstractDispatch(cls, meth);

possibleTargets is a list of possible target based on CHA.

Please correct me if I was wrong!
