Bytecode generation

[Stephen Cheng <scheng@clear.net.nz>]

I am attempting to understand how JasminClass generates bytecode from the
Jimple IR representation of a method. I have been reading the papers
Sable-paper-2000-1 and sable-paper-1999-1. However it would appear that the
bytecode generation algorithm has substantially changed since the
publication of these papers. Sable-paper-2000-1 talks about Baf and Grimp
approaches, neither of which seems to be implemented in the current version
of Soot.

I am in particular looking for these answers:
1. Where I can get the relevant information or latest papers on this topic
2. sable-paper-2000-1 talks about using stack to store variables within the
basic block, but not intra-block. Is this still the same in the current
version of soot?

Thanks very much,
Stephen Cheng
