the call to VG_(cli_malloc) returns NULL then don't try and copy the
data or register a new block and just leave the old block in place
instead, but still return NULL to the caller.
Fixes bug 109487 and it's duplicates.

Changed some printf specifiers accordingly, plus some more that were
incorrect.
Also put commas in various output numbers, eg. the leak check stats.
This makes them much easier to read when they get big. One
exception is in XML number-only fields such as <leakedbytes>.

higher-order functions for traversing data structures. The higher-order
approach is too clumsy due to the lack of polymorphism and closures; you
have to use void* too much and it is more verbose than it should be.
Hence, I replaced all the uses of HT_first_match() and
HT_apply_to_all_nodes() with equivalent uses of the hashtable iterator.
Also replaced higher-order traversal functions for Memcheck's freed-list
and the thread stacks with iterators. That last change changes the
core/tool interface, so I've increased the version number.

types in m_hashtable.c to void*. This requires no changes to code
already using VgHashTables, but it allows some previously-required casts
to be removed. I also changed Memcheck and Massif by removing some of
these now-unnecessary casts.

- Added some useful hash table functions (vanilla lookup() and remove()).
[Actually, I accidentally added them with my previous commit]
Replaced various simple uses of VG_(HT_get_node) with these new functions.
- Passing record_freemismatch_error() the MAC_Chunk of the freed heap block.
So now we don't need to call describe_addr() to re-find that block, which
means that we can remove the MAC_Chunk from the malloc_list earlier, rather
than having to do a lookup and then later remove it with the stupid removal
handle returned by VG_(HT_get_node)().

when it is created. Fortunately this didn't affect code outside this
module except for the calls to VG_(HT_construct)().
As a result, we save some memory because not all tables have to be as big
as the ones needed for malloc/free tracking.

- Broke part of m_scheduler off into a new module m_threadstate. It
contains ThreadState, VG_(threads)[] and some basic operations on the
thread table. All simple stuff, the complex stuff stays in m_scheduler.
This avoids lots of circular dependencies between m_scheduler and other
modules.
- Managed to finally remove core.h and tool.h, double hurrah!
- Introduced pub_tool_basics.h and pub_core_basics.h, one of which is
include by every single C file.
- Lots of little cleanups and changes related to the above.
- I even did a small amount of documentation updating.

As part of this, killed the VG_STRINGIFY macro, which was used to expand
out names like "VG_(foo)" and "vgPlain_foo" in assertion failure
messages. This is good since we actually want the "VG_(foo)" form used
in these messages.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@3842
relying on any other modules -- in m_libcbase.
Also converted the 'size' parameters to functions like VG_(memcpy) and
VG_(strncpy) from Int to SizeT, as they should be.
Also removed VG_(atoll16) and VG_(toupper), which weren't being used.
Also made VG_(atoll36) less flexible -- it now only does base-36 numbers
instead of any base in the range 2..36, since base-36 is the only one we
need. As part of that, I fixed a horrible bug in it which caused it to
return incorrect answers for any number containing the digits 'A'..'I'!
(Eg. for "A; it would return 17 instead of 10!)
Had to disable the assertions in VG_(string_match), since this module can't
see vg_assert, which wasn't ideal but also isn't a disaster.

form. The relevant flag is --xml=yes. Currently this only works with
Memcheck.
Specifying this flag fixes various other options relating to verbosity
and behaviour of the leak checker, so that the resulting output is in
a relatively fixed form suitable for parsing by GUIs.
Still to do:
* Add mechanism to show error counts
* Add regression test
* Document the resulting format

through the VG_(tdict) function dictionary, rather than using TL_(foo)
functions.
This facilitated the following changes:
- Removed the "TL_" prefix, which is no longer needed.
- Removed the auto-generated files vg_toolint.[ch], which were no longer
needed, which simplifies the build a great deal. Their (greatly
streamlined) contents went into core.h and vg_needs.h (and will soon
go into a new module defining the core/tool interface).
This also meant that tool.h.base reverted to tool.h (so no more
accidentally editing tool.h and not having the changes go into the
repo, hooray!) And gen_toolint.pl was removed. And toolfuncs.def was
removed.
- Removed VG_(missing_tool_func)(), no longer used.
- Bumped the core/tool interface major version number to 8. And I
killed the minor version number, which was never used. The layout
of the ToolInfo struct is such that this should not cause problems.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@3644
lot to one. This required two basic changes.
1. Tools are responsible for telling the tool about any functions they
provide that the tool may call. This includes basic functions like
TL_(instrument)(), functions that assist core services such as
TL_(pp_Error)(), and malloc-replacement-related functions like
TL_(malloc)().
2. Tools that replace malloc now specify the size of the heap block redzones
through an arg to the VG_(malloc_funcs)() function, rather than with a
variable VG_(vg_malloc_redzone_szB).
One consequence of these changes is that VG_(tool_init_dlsym)() no longer
needs to be generated by gen_toolint.pl.
There are a number of further improvements that could follow on from this one.
- Avoid the confusingly different definitions of the TL_() macro in the
core vs. for tools. Indeed, the functions provided by the tools now don't
need to use the TL_() macro at all, as they can have arbitrary names.
- Remove a lot of the auto-generated stuff in vg_toolint.c and vg_toolint.h
(indeed, it might be possible to not auto-generate these at all, which
would be nice).
- The handling of VgToolInterface is currently split across vg_needs.c and
vg_toolint.c, which isn't nice.

two halves: stacktrace.c, which deals with getting, traversing and printing
stack traces; and execontext.c, which deals with storing stack traces
permanently in a way that avoids duplicates, and comparing them.
One nice outcome: previously we were often creating ExeContexts, which live
forever, even when they were only needed temporarily. Ie. this was a memory
leak, which has been removed.
As part of this, new headers have been created, carved off core.h and
tool.h. Lots of function names have changed, too.
In Massif, I also changed a lot of "eip" names to "ip" to make them less
x86-specific.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@3429
because the added VG_(find_root_memory)() is just a stub. And there's a
problem with overlap checking that I haven't worked out yet. Still it's a
start. The commit also brings Memcheck back into the build process,
although mc_main.c is entirely commented out at the moment.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@3352
were being kept as UInts. They were sometimes negated and then used as
indices to arrays, and on 64-bit platforms they get converted
incorrectly (using zero-extension instead of sign extension, I think)
before the indexing happens, giving a totally bogus index.
The fix was to convert all these types to SizeT. It would be nice to be
able to avoid this automatically somehow in the future.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@3158
state pointer points directly at the ThreadState.arch.vex field, thus
updating it in place and avoiding a lot of code (and time-wasting)
which copies stuff back and forth to baseBlock.
Fix zillions of other places in the system where the current thread id
is needed. It is now passed to all needed places.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@3090
This required some tricks with casting to maintain Memcheck's silly (ie.
negative) arg checking. The allocator was also changed accordingly. It
should now be able to allocate more than 4GB blocks on 64-bit platforms.

Problem was that the malloc-replacing tools (memcheck, addrcheck, massif,
helgrind) would assert if a too-big malloc was attempted. Now they return 0 to
the client. I also cleaned up the code handling heap-block-metadata in Massif
and Addrcheck/Memcheck a little.
This exposed a nasty bug in VG_(client_alloc)() which wasn't checking if
find_map_space() was succeeding before attempting an mmap(). Before I added
the check, very big mallocs (eg 2GB) for Addrcheck were overwriting the client
space at address 0 and causing crashes.
Added a regtest to all the affected skins for this.

cause the stack to be marked as executable in order for them to work.
All assembler files have also had a declaration added so that the
object they generate will be marked as not needing an executable stack.

the places that normal users will see:
- command line: --tool=foo (although --skin=foo still works)
- docs: removed all traces (included renaming coregrind_skins.html to
coregrind_tools.html)
- in the usage messages
- in error messages
Also did in in some places that I judged were unlikely to cause clashes with
existing workspaces:
- in the header comments of many files (eg. "This file is part of Memcheck, a
Valgrind tool for...")
- in the regtests script
- in the .supp files
- in AUTHORS
- in README_MISSING_SYSCALL_OR_IOCTL
Also update the AUTHORS file to mention Jeremy.

Previously, when realloc() was asked to make a block bigger, the ExeContext
describing where that block was allocated was increased; however, if the block
became smaller or stayed the same size, the original ExeContext remained. This
is correct in one way (that's where the memory manager actually parcelled out
the block) but it's not very intuitive. This commit changes things so the
ExeContext of a block is always changed upon realloc(). I added a regression
test for it too.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@1783
from skin's view, replacing all instances with ThreadId. Much cleaner. Had to
change the way VG_(get_ExeContext)() worked a little. Changed the core/skin
major interface because this breaks the old version. Also fixed a few minor
related things here and there.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@1782
problem which caused the leak checker to misbehave following recent
PLT-bypass workaround.
In short, it is an error to announce to the skin, segments found which
belong to the low-level memory manager, because the skin may then mark
them as accessible to the client. This is wrong, and the client
should only acquire accessible memory via malloc etc and stack
movement. Now we carefully avoid mentioning any segment belonging to
the low level memory manager.
Take the opportunity to improve VG_(within_m_state_static) so that it
also detects pointers within the thread table. This can reduce the
number of blocks the leak checker spuriously thinks are still
reachable.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@1751
the leak checker doesn't see the pointer to the real block. As
detailed in the comment in this function, this must be masking a
deeper memory management bug.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@1750
use a custom-allocator and detect almost as many errors as you could detect if
you used malloc/new/new[]. (eg. leaks detected, free errors, free mismatch,
etc).
Had to fiddle with mac_malloc_wrappers.c a bit to factor out the appropriate
code to be called from the client request handling code. Also had to add a
new element `MAC_AllocCustom' to the MAC_AllocKind type.
Also added a little documentation, and a regression test.
