Upgrade to valgrind 3.12.0.
Release 3.12.0 (20 October 2016) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3.12.0 is a feature release with many improvements and the usual collection of 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, X86/Solaris, AMD64/Solaris, X86/MacOSX 10.10 and AMD64/MacOSX 10.10. There is also preliminary support for X86/MacOSX 10.11/12, AMD64/MacOSX 10.11/12 and TILEGX/Linux. * ================== PLATFORM CHANGES ================= * POWER: Support for ISA 3.0 has been added * mips: support for O32 FPXX ABI has been added. * mips: improved recognition of different processors * mips: determination of page size now done at run time * amd64: Partial support for AMD FMA4 instructions. * arm, arm64: Support for v8 crypto and CRC instructions. * Improvements and robustification of the Solaris port. * Preliminary support for MacOS 10.12 (Sierra) has been added. Whilst 3.12.0 continues to support the 32-bit x86 instruction set, we would prefer users to migrate to 64-bit x86 (a.k.a amd64 or x86_64) where possible. Valgrind's support for 32-bit x86 has stagnated in recent years and has fallen far behind that for 64-bit x86 instructions. By contrast 64-bit x86 is well supported, up to and including AVX2. * ==================== TOOL CHANGES ==================== * Memcheck: - Added meta mempool support for describing a custom allocator which: - Auto-frees all chunks assuming that destroying a pool destroys all objects in the pool - Uses itself to allocate other memory blocks - New flag --ignore-range-below-sp to ignore memory accesses below the stack pointer, if you really have to. The related flag --workaround-gcc296-bugs=yes is now deprecated. Use --ignore-range-below-sp=1024-1 as a replacement. * DRD: - Improved thread startup time significantly on non-Linux platforms. * DHAT - Added collection of the metric "tot-blocks-allocd" * ==================== OTHER CHANGES ==================== * Replacement/wrapping of malloc/new related functions is now done not just for system libraries by default, but for any globally defined malloc/new related function (both in shared libraries and statically linked alternative malloc implementations). The dynamic (runtime) linker is excluded, though. To only intercept malloc/new related functions in system libraries use --soname-synonyms=somalloc=nouserintercepts (where "nouserintercepts" can be any non-existing library name). This new functionality is not implemented for MacOS X. * The maximum number of callers in a suppression entry is now equal to the maximum size for --num-callers (500). Note that --gen-suppressions=yes|all similarly generates suppressions containing up to --num-callers frames. * New and modified GDB server monitor features: - Valgrind's gdbserver now accepts the command 'catch syscall'. Note that you must have GDB >= 7.11 to use 'catch syscall' with gdbserver. * New option --run-cxx-freeres=<yes|no> can be used to change whether __gnu_cxx::__freeres() cleanup function is called or not. Default is 'yes'. * Valgrind is able to read compressed debuginfo sections in two formats: - zlib ELF gABI format with SHF_COMPRESSED flag (gcc option -gz=zlib) - zlib GNU format with .zdebug sections (gcc option -gz=zlib-gnu) * Modest JIT-cost improvements: the cost of instrumenting code blocks for the most common use case (x86_64-linux, Memcheck) has been reduced by 10%-15%. * Improved performance for programs that do a lot of discarding of instruction address ranges of 8KB or less. * The C++ symbol demangler has been updated. * More robustness against invalid syscall parameters on Linux. * ==================== FIXED BUGS ==================== The following bugs have been fixed or resolved. Note that "n-i-bz" stands for "not in bugzilla" -- that is, a bug that was reported to us but never got a bugzilla entry. We encourage you to file bugs in bugzilla (https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=valgrind) rather than mailing the developers (or mailing lists) directly -- bugs that are not entered into bugzilla tend to get forgotten about or ignored.
