Re: attributes

Soot reads the following attributes:
SourceFile
ConstantValue
Code
Exceptions
LineNumberTable
LocalVariableTable

However, only LineNumberTable has a corresponding Tag implementation
allowing it to be represented as a Soot attribute. If you need to
preserve anything else, you need to implement a Tag to represent it, and
a TagAggregator to convert it from a Soot attribute into a bytecode
attribute.
