public class DexNullThrowTransformer
extends BodyTransformer

Some Android applications throw null references, e.g., a = null; throw a; This will make unit graph construction fail as no targets of the throw statement can be found. We therefore replace such statements with direct NullPointerExceptions which would happen at runtime anyway.
