What does SootMethod.getSubSignature() meaning?

In many java project which using Soot, I see the SootMethod.getSubSignature().

I know that we have SootMethod.Signature() for getting signature of method but what does SootMethod.getSubSignature() meaning.

what is the difference between these two methods?

Solution

  • As @Eric said I examine these methods on one Soot Method and I find the answer.Consider we have a method named Test which is defined in SignTest class and has int return type and no input argument. when we call test.getSignature() the answer which is returned

    <Sigtest: int Test()>

    and when we call test.getSubSignature() 

    int Test()

    So the difference between these to method is in subsignature we don't mention the method's relevant class.
