  text: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Since its inception two decades ago,
    <jats:sc>Soot</jats:sc> has become one of the most widely used open-source static
    analysis frameworks. Over time it has been extended with the contributions of
    countless researchers. Yet, at the same time, the requirements for <jats:sc>Soot</jats:sc>
    have changed over the years and become increasingly at odds with some of the major
    design decisions that underlie it. In this work, we thus present <jats:sc>SootUp</jats:sc>,
    a complete reimplementation of <jats:sc>Soot</jats:sc> that seeks to fulfill these
    requirements with a novel design, while at the same time keeping elements that
    <jats:sc>Soot</jats:sc> users have grown accustomed to.</jats:p>
