- update to 3.9.0:
* Support for Intel AVX2 instructions. This is available only on 64
bit code.
* Support for POWER8 (Power ISA 2.07) instructions.
* Initial support for Intel Transactional Synchronization Extensions,
both RTM and HLE.
* Initial support for Hardware Transactional Memory on POWER.
* Improvements in handling of vectorised code, leading to
significantly fewer false error reports. You need to use the flag
--partial-loads-ok=yes to get the benefits of these changes.
* Better control over the leak checker. It is now possible to
specify which leak kinds (definite/indirect/possible/reachable)
should be displayed.
* Reduced "possible leak" reports from the leak checker by the use
of better heuristics.
* Better control of stacktrace acquisition for heap-allocated
blocks.
* Better reporting of leak suppression usage.
* New and modified GDB server monitor features.
* New flag --sigill-diagnostics to control whether a diagnostic
message is printed when the JIT encounters an instruction it can't
translate.
* The maximum amount of memory that Valgrind can use on 64 bit
targets has been increased from 32GB to 64GB.
* Additional smaller new features and many bug fixes.

- update to 3.8.1 (bnc#776211):
* Fixes some assertion failures.
* Support for some missing instructions on ARM.
* Support instructions MOVAPS and TZCNT.
* Bug fixes.
- update to 3.8.0: * Support for MIPS32 platforms running Linux. Valgrind has been tested on MIPS32 and MIPS32r2 platforms running different Debian Squeeze and MeeGo distributions. Both little-endian and big-endian cores are supported. The tools Memcheck, Massif and Lackey have been tested and are known to work. See README.mips for more details. * Preliminary support for Android running on x86. * Preliminary (as-yet largely unusable) support for MacOSX 10.8. * Support for Intel AVX instructions and for AES instructions. This support is available only for 64 bit code. * Support for POWER Decimal Floating Point instructions. * Non-libc malloc implementations are now supported. This is useful for tools that replace malloc (Memcheck, Massif, DRD, Helgrind). Using the new option --soname-synonyms, such tools can be informed that the malloc implementation is either linked statically into the executable, or is present in some other shared library different from libc.so. This makes it possible to process statically linked programs, and programs using other malloc libraries, for example TCMalloc or JEMalloc. * For tools that provide their own replacement for malloc et al, the option --redzone-size=<number> allows users to specify the size of the padding blocks (redzones) added before and after each client allocated block. Smaller redzones decrease the memory needed by Valgrind. Bigger redzones increase the chance to detect blocks overrun or underrun. Prior to this change, the redzone size was hardwired to 16 bytes in Memcheck. * Memcheck: - The leak_check GDB server monitor command now can control the maximum nr of loss records to output. - Reduction of memory use for applications allocating OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:tools/valgrind?expand=0&rev=79

programs, and programs using other malloc libraries, for example

* For tools that provide their own replacement for malloc et al, the
option --redzone-size=<number> allows users to specify the size of
the padding blocks (redzones) added before and after each client
allocated block. Smaller redzones decrease the memory needed by
Valgrind. Bigger redzones increase the chance to detect blocks
overrun or underrun. Prior to this change, the redzone size was
hardwired to 16 bytes in Memcheck.
* Memcheck:
- The leak_check GDB server monitor command now can
control the maximum nr of loss records to output.
- Reduction of memory use for applications allocating
many blocks and/or having many partially defined bytes.
- Addition of GDB server monitor command 'block_list' that lists
the addresses/sizes of the blocks of a leak search loss record.
- Addition of GDB server monitor command 'who_points_at' that lists
the locations pointing at a block.
- If a redzone size > 0 is given, VALGRIND_MALLOCLIKE_BLOCK now will
detect an invalid access of these redzones, by marking them
noaccess. Similarly, if a redzone size is given for a memory
pool, VALGRIND_MEMPOOL_ALLOC will mark the redzones no access.
This still allows to find some bugs if the user has forgotten to
mark the pool superblock noaccess.
- Performance of memory leak check has been improved, especially in
cases where there are many leaked blocks and/or many suppression
rules used to suppress leak reports.
- Reduced noise (false positive) level on MacOSX 10.6/10.7, due to
more precise analysis, which is important for LLVM/Clang
generated code. This is at the cost of somewhat reduced
performance. Note there is no change to analysis precision or
costs on Linux targets.
* DRD:
- Added even more facilities that can help finding the cause of a data
race, namely the command-line option --ptrace-addr and the macro
DRD_STOP_TRACING_VAR(x). More information can be found in the manual.
- Fixed a subtle bug that could cause false positive data race reports.
* The C++ demangler has been updated so as to work well with C++
compiled by up to at least g++ 4.6.
* Tool developers can make replacement/wrapping more flexible thanks
to the new option --soname-synonyms. This was reported above, but
in fact is very general and applies to all function
replacement/wrapping, not just to malloc-family functions.
* Round-robin scheduling of threads can be selected, using the new
option --fair-sched= yes. Prior to this change, the pipe-based
thread serialisation mechanism (which is still the default) could
give very unfair scheduling. --fair-sched=yes improves
responsiveness of interactive multithreaded applications, and
improves repeatability of results from the thread checkers Helgrind
and DRD.
* For tool developers: support to run Valgrind on Valgrind has been
improved. We can now routinely Valgrind on Helgrind or Memcheck.
* gdbserver now shows the float shadow registers as integer
rather than float values, as the shadow values are mostly
used as bit patterns.
* Increased limit for the --num-callers command line flag to 500.
* Performance improvements for error matching when there are many
suppression records in use.
* Improved support for DWARF4 debugging information (bug 284184).
* Initial support for DWZ compressed Dwarf debug info.
* Improved control over the IR optimiser's handling of the tradeoff
between performance and precision of exceptions. Specifically,
--vex-iropt-precise-memory-exns has been removed and replaced by
--vex-iropt-register-updates, with extended functionality. This
allows the Valgrind gdbserver to always show up to date register
values to GDB.
* Modest performance gains through the use of translation chaining for
JIT-generated code.

there to make sure the xfree supp files are used, but they are
used anyway by default. This helps resolve a build loop between
libdrm and valgrind.

- update to 3.7.0 (bnc#724215):
* Support for IBM z/Architecture (s390x) running Linux. Valgrind can
analyse 64-bit programs running on z/Architecture. Most user space
instructions up to and including z10 are supported.
See README.s390 for more details.
* Support for the IBM Power ISA 2.06 (Power7 instructions)
* Further solidification of support for SSE 4.2 in 64-bit mode

* - improved handling of freed memory for finding more errors
* - fix of a longstanding bug that could cause false negatives
* Helgrind:
* - Helgrind: performance improvements and major memory use reductions
* GDB server: Valgrind now has an embedded GDB server. That means it
is possible to control a Valgrind run from GDB, doing all the usual
things that GDB can do (single stepping, breakpoints, examining
data, etc). Tool-specific functionality is also available.
* Over 160 bugs have been fixed.

3.6.0 is a feature release with many significant improvements and the
usual collection of bug fixes. See the NEWS file for details.

- disable building docs until I find a way to build them without
network access
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- update to 3.6.0 snapshot: - Valgrind runs much faster when the --smc-check=all option is given. - Cachegrind has a new processing script, cg_diff, which finds the difference between two profiles. It's very useful for evaluating the performance effects of a change in a program. Related to this change, the meaning of cg_annotate's (rarely-used) --threshold option has changed; this is unlikely to affect many people, if you do use it please see the user manual for details. - Callgrind now can do branch prediction simulation, similar to Cachegrind. In addition, it optionally can count the number of executed global bus events. Both can be used for a better approximation of a "Cycle Estimation" as derived event (you need to update the event formula in KCachegrind yourself). - Cachegrind and Callgrind now refer to the LL (last-level) cache rather than the L2 cache. This is to accommodate machines with three levels of caches -- if Cachegrind/Callgrind auto-detects the cache configuration of such a machine it will run the simulation as if the L2 cache isn't present. This means the results are less likely to match the true result for the machine, but Cachegrind/Callgrind's results are already only approximate, and should not be considered authoritative. The results are still useful for giving a general idea about a program's locality. - Massif has a new option, --pages-as-heap, which is disabled by default. When enabled, instead of tracking allocations at the level of heap blocks (as allocated with malloc/new/new[]), it instead tracks memory allocations at the level of memory pages (as mapped by mmap, brk, etc). Each mapped page is treated as its own block. Interpreting the page-level output is harder than the heap-level output, but this option is useful if you want to account for every byte of memory used by a program. - Added new memcheck command-line option --show-possibly-lost.

- Cachegrind and Callgrind now refer to the LL (last-level) cache rather
than the L2 cache. This is to accommodate machines with three levels of
caches -- if Cachegrind/Callgrind auto-detects the cache configuration of
such a machine it will run the simulation as if the L2 cache isn't
present. This means the results are less likely to match the true result
for the machine, but Cachegrind/Callgrind's results are already only
approximate, and should not be considered authoritative. The results are
still useful for giving a general idea about a program's locality.
- Massif has a new option, --pages-as-heap, which is disabled by default.
When enabled, instead of tracking allocations at the level of heap blocks
(as allocated with malloc/new/new[]), it instead tracks memory allocations
at the level of memory pages (as mapped by mmap, brk, etc). Each mapped
page is treated as its own block. Interpreting the page-level output is
harder than the heap-level output, but this option is useful if you want
to account for every byte of memory used by a program.
- Added new memcheck command-line option --show-possibly-lost.
- Support for analyzing programs running under Wine with has been improved.
The header files <valgrind/valgrind.h>, <valgrind/memcheck.h> and
<valgrind/drd.h> can now be used in Windows-programs compiled with MinGW
or one of the Microsoft Visual Studio compilers.
- DRD does now have two new command-line options: --free-is-write and
--trace-alloc. The former allows to detect reading from already freed
memory, and the latter allows to trace all memory allocations and
deallocations.
- Several new annotations have been added in DRD: custom barrier
implementations can now be annotated and benign races on static variables
too.
- The happens before / happens after annotations in DRD have been made more
powerful such that these can now also be used to annotate e.g. a smart
pointer implementation.
