I was just curious why FindBugs chose to use a byte code representation
of code as opposed to a Java AST. This just seems to make adoptability
(as a framework) very difficult; it's challenging to get into the
mental model of byte code. I realize FindBugs was not originally
intended as a commercial framework, but it is interesting that all the major analysis frameworks use a byte code
model. I assume there is some kind of performance reason? Or are there
some kinds of analysis that can be only done/are easier to do in this
model? What was the tradeoff for this decision?
Thanks,
