Re: Refreshing InvokeGraph, getting calling sites

[Ondrej LHOTAK <olhotak@sable.mcgill.ca>]

The Static Method Binder updates the invoke graph after it changes
virtual calls to static calls of clones of the original methods. You
could look there for example code that updates the invoke graph.

The invoke graph and its interface were some of the more messy and poorly
understood parts of Soot 1.2.x, and this is why they have been replaced
in 2.0 with a (hopefully) cleaner and more complete representation:
the CallGraph, which unifies what was previously in InvokeGraph and
MethodCallGraph. There are a number of slides dealing with the new
CallGraph in the PLDI tutorial slides:
