Will future version of tai-e rely on Soot? #143

Description

@zpc0801

This is a frontend issue, and since we are currently using Soot as the frontend, we are temporarily unable to address it.

At the moment, I have the following observations:

  1. Due to the nature of inner classes, javac has to use a hacky way to compile modifiers of inner classes, which is the root cause of the problem.
  2. We can restore the "source code" modifiers , as the JVM's reflection API can also retrieve the "source code" modifiers.
  3. As an analyzer, Tai-e needs to decide whether to align with the source code or directly use the flags field from the classfile. This requires further discussion.

We will soon release a new bytecode frontend, and this issue should be properly resolved in the new frontend.

    (⚠Not a developer) According to the discussion with one of the developers, I heard that the new frontend will be published until the end of this year.
