- 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.

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.
