Native Code

WALA currently models native code for some library classes with flow-insensitive summaries. These summaries are expressed in XML in natives.xml. The natives.xml file represents methods that were actually native in a 1.3 JDK.

The current native models are incomplete, and more importantly, inadequate for flow-sensitive analysis, since the language used in the XML files is flow-insensitive. We hope to transition to a better model someday.
