Abstract

Our integration of the Soot bytecode manipulation framework into the Eclipse IDE forms a powerful tool for graphically visualizing both the progress and output of program analyses. We demonstrate several examples of the visualizations that we have developed, and explain how they are useful for both compiler research and teaching.
