Re: Linenumber bug?



Does anyone know what the rules are for line number tags in Jimple? Are
they even specified anywhere? For what purpose were the line number tags
originally added to Soot, and when?

I can recall one reason to keep line number attributes after sootification is to print out stack traces with line number if the application throws an exception. I cannot remember the rules for line number tags in Jimple.


Here is the history of line number tags:
I added the first version of line number tag into soot (maybe 2 years ago), then Marc continued on it as a summer project. I believe you optimized the tag hierarchy at one point.
