Question

I have here a stack trace from one of my games from android market. I have de-proguarded it but I can’t really understand it!

I’m not asking for help in the error itself, but just how to interpret this.

I started with this from Market:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
at java.nio.Buffer.position(Buffer.java:299)
at com.a.a.k.o.a(Unknown Source)
at com.a.a.k.w.a(Unknown Source)
at com.a.a.k.w.onDrawFrame(Unknown Source)
at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$GLThread.guardedRun(GLSurfaceView.java:1363)
at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$GLThread.run(GLSurfaceView.java:1118)

But retrace.bat has output this, which is longer, so I can’t tell what com.a.a.k.o.a is (for exmaple).

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

                                    void glSetNormalMatrix(com.eaw.graphics.AMatrix)
                                    void SetVertices(java.nio.FloatBuffer)

Has it rolled 4 functions into 1 during obscuration? or what?

Answer 1

Your processed code and stack trace doesn’t contain line numbers, so ProGuard can’t tell to which original method name the obfuscated method name ‘a’ corresponds. It then prints out all possible alternatives. Cfr. ProGuard’s Retrace manual.

The manual also documents how you can preserve line numbers in the obfuscation step.
