<h2>Introduction</h2>
|
|
|
|
<b>ReTrace</b> is a companion tool for <b>ProGuard</b> that 'de-obfuscates'
|
|
stack traces.
|
|
<p>
|
|
When an obfuscated program throws an exception, the resulting stack trace
|
|
typically isn't very informative. Class names and method names have been
|
|
replaced by short meaningless strings. Source file names and line numbers are
|
|
missing altogether. While this may be intentional, it can also be inconvenient
|
|
when debugging problems.

|
|
ReTrace can read an obfuscated stack trace and restore it to what it would
|
|
look like without obfuscation. The restoration is based on the mapping file
|
|
that ProGuard can write out during obfuscation. The mapping file links the
|
|
original class names and class member names to their obfuscated names.
