* Added ARM64 support for FreeBSD.
* ARM64 now supports dotprod instructions (sdot/udot).
* AMD64 better supports code build with -march=x86-64-v3.
fused-multiple-add instructions (fma) are now emulated more
accurately. And memcheck now handles __builtin_strcmp using 128/256
bit vectors with sse4.1, avx/avx2.
* S390X added support for NNPA (neural network processing assist)
facility vector instructions VCNF, VCLFNH, VCFN, VCLFNL, VCRNF and
NNPA (z16/arch14).
* X86 recognizes new binutils-2.42 nop patterns.
- drop VEX-x86-nop-pattern.patch (upstream)
- drop armv6-support.diff (obsolete)

* Memcheck now tests and warns about the values used for
alignment and size. These apply to various functions: memalign,
posix_memalign and aligned_alloc in C and various overloads
of operators new and delete in C++. The kinds of error that can
be detected are
- invalid alignment, for instance the alignment is usually required
to be a power of 2
- mismatched alignment between aligned allocation and aligned
deallocation
- mismatched size when sized delete is used
- bad size for functions that have implementation defined behaviour
when the requested size is zero
* many bug fixes, see https://valgrind.org/docs/manual/dist.news.html
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:tools/valgrind?expand=0&rev=275
* More DWARF5 support as generated by clang14.
- drop unnecessary procps buildrequires
- add upstream handle-rseq-syscall.patch to fix run with glibc 2.35
* 3.18.1 fixes a number of bugs and adds support for glibc-2.34, and for new
platforms x86/FreeBSD and amd64/FreeBSD. Debuginfo reading is faster, and
completed, and some newer ARM64 and S390 instructions are also supported.

* When GDB is used to debug a program running under valgrind
using the valgrind gdbserver, GDB will automatically load some
python code provided in valgrind defining GDB front end
commands corresponding to the valgrind monitor commands.
* These GDB front end commands accept the same format as
the monitor commands directly sent to the Valgrind
gdbserver.
These GDB front end commands provide a better integration
in the GDB command line interface, so as to use for example
GDB auto-completion, command specific help, searching for
a command or command help matching a regexp, ...
For relevant monitor commands, GDB will evaluate arguments
to make the use of monitor commands easier.
For example, instead of having to print the address of a
variable to pass it to a subsequent monitor command, the
GDB front end command will evaluate the address argument.
* The vgdb utility now supports extended-remote protocol when
invoked with --multi. In this mode the GDB run command is
supported. Which means you don't need to run gdb and
valgrind from different terminals.
* The behaviour of realloc with a size of zero can now
be changed for tools that intercept malloc. Those
tools are memcheck, helgrind, drd, massif and dhat.
Realloc implementations generally do one of two things
- free the memory like free() and return NULL
(GNU libc and ptmalloc).
- either free the memory and then allocate a
minimum sized block or just return the
original pointer. Return NULL if the

* The option "--vgdb-stop-at=event1,event2,..." accepts the new value abexit.
This indicates to invoke gdbserver when your program exits abnormally
(i.e. with a non zero exit code).
* Fix Rust v0 name demangling.
* The Linux rseq syscall is now implemented as (silently) returning ENOSYS.
* Add FreeBSD syscall wrappers for __specialfd and __realpathat.
* Remove FreeBSD dependencies on COMPAT10, which fixes compatibility with
HardenedBSD
* The option --enable-debuginfod=<no|yes> [default: yes] has been added on
Linux.
* More DWARF5 support as generated by clang14.

* 3.17.0 fixes a number of bugs and adds some functional changes: support for GCC
11, Clang 11, DWARF5 debuginfo, the 'debuginfod' debuginfo server, and
some new instructions for Arm64, S390 and POWER. There are also some tool
updates.
- drop s390x-z14-vector-support.patch

* Many bugfixes, too many to list here, see NEWS file
- The implicit memcpy done by each call to realloc now counts towards the
read and write counts of resized heap blocks, making those counts higher
and more accurate.
- cg_annotate's --auto and --show-percs options now default to 'yes', because
they are usually wanted.
- callgrind_annotate's --auto and --show-percs options now default to 'yes',
because they are usually wanted.
- The command option --collect-systime has been enhanced to specify
the unit used to record the elapsed time spent during system calls.
The command option now accepts the values no|yes|msec|usec|nsec,
where yes is a synonym of msec. When giving the value nsec, the
system cpu time of system calls is also recorded.
- Several memcheck options are now dynamically changeable.
Use valgrind --help-dyn-options to list them.
- The release 3.15 introduced a backward incompatible change for
some suppression entries related to preadv and pwritev syscalls.
When reading a suppression entry using the unsupported 3.14 format,
valgrind will now produce a warning to say the suppression entry will not
work, and suggest the needed change.
- Significantly fewer false positive errors on optimised code generated by
Clang and GCC. In particular, Memcheck now deals better with the
situation where the compiler will transform C-level "A && B" into "B && A"
under certain circumstances (in which the transformation is valid).
Handling of integer equality/non-equality checks on partially defined
values is also improved on some architectures.
- The exprimental Stack and Global Array Checking tool has been removed.
It only ever worked on x86 and amd64, and even on those it had a
high false positive rate and was slow. An alternative for detecting
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:tools/valgrind?expand=0&rev=221
- Move the BSD-style licensed client headers to a subpackage.
Packages only requiring e.g. valgrind.h during build no longer
need the full valgrind and valgrind-devel packages then.
- Clean up documentation a bit:
+ use %build_cond, drop unused docbook_4 BuildRequires
+ remove the Postscript Valgrind manual in favor of the PDF one.
- Add GFDL-1.2 to the License, relevant for man pages and Valgrind
PDF/HTML manual.

bug fixes.
This release supports X86/Linux, AMD64/Linux, ARM32/Linux, ARM64/Linux,
PPC32/Linux, PPC64BE/Linux, PPC64LE/Linux, S390X/Linux, MIPS32/Linux,
MIPS64/Linux, ARM/Android, ARM64/Android, MIPS32/Android, X86/Android,

support for X86/macOS 10.13 and AMD64/macOS 10.13.
* ==================== CORE CHANGES ===================
* The XTree Massif output format now makes use of the information obtained
when specifying --read-inline-info=yes.
* amd64 (x86_64): the RDRAND and F16C insn set extensions are now supported.
* ==================== TOOL CHANGES ====================
* DHAT:
- DHAT been thoroughly overhauled, improved, and given a GUI. As a result,
it has been promoted from an experimental tool to a regular tool. Run it
with --tool=dhat instead of --tool=exp-dhat.
- DHAT now prints only minimal data when the program ends, instead writing
the bulk of the profiling data to a file. As a result, the --show-top-n
and --sort-by options have been removed.
- Profile results can be viewed with the new viewer, dh_view.html. When
a run ends, a short message is printed, explaining how to view the result.
- See the documentation for more details.
* Cachegrind:
- cg_annotate has a new option, --show-percs, which prints percentages next
to all event counts.
* Callgrind:
- callgrind_annotate has a new option, --show-percs, which prints percentages
next to all event counts.
- callgrind_annotate now inserts commas in call counts, and
