library classes, unless you explicitly include or exclude them. From your e-mail, it seems as if you have everything on the classpath, which leads exactly to the behavior you describe.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Is there any way to instruct Soot to take all the classes under certain path as application classes?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">For the following simple program, once I analyze it using CHA and filter methods from third-party libraries out of the call graph, I get only one method left (i.e. T.main).<br>
<br>
class A { @Override public String toString(){ return ""; } }<br>
public class T { public static void main(String[] args){ new Object().toString(); } }<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">But when I analyze the next program, I get the expected results (i.e. after filtering out all other methods, the set of methods in the call graph are T.main, A.<init> and A.toString).<br>
<br>
class A { @Override public String toString(){ return ""; } }<br>
public class T { public static void main(String[] args){ A a = new A(); new Object().toString(); } }<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is how CHA works...<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">It seems that when we just name the main class in the command-line, Soot ignores all the other classes in the class path. As soon as I name the second class A in the command-line I get the expected result.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Could you please tell me if there is any easy way to instruct Soot that all the classes under certain path are application classes? As you know for a big program such as Apache Commons Lang, it would be impossible
to name all the application classes (even writing a program to extract all the class files under a directory does not seem a good idea, as there should be a mechanism built in Soot for this purpose)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you so much.<o:p></o:p></p>
