VG_(debugLog_vprintf).
Remove function VG_(percentify) and fix up its call sites (part of
fixing BZ #337869.
Allow the width in a format specification to be '*', i.e. the width is
given as an additional function argument.
The limitations for printing floating point numbers are:
(1) %f is the only supported format. Width and precision can be
specified.
(2) Funny numbers (NaN and such) are not supported.
(3) Floating point numbers need to be benign in the sense that their
integral part fits into an ULong.
This is good enough for our purposes.

Assorted fixes in exp-bbv to eliminate a few buffers.
Implement a suggestion found in the massif source, namely to add the
equivalent of fprintf to m_libcprint. Good suggestion. Thusly
- VgFile: similar to FILE; buffered output, 8k buffer
- VG_(fopen): similar to fopen, but with arguments as in VG_(open)
- VG_(fprintf) and VG_(vfprintf): like [v]fprintf with VgFile 1at argument
- VG_(fclose)
Change massif, exp-bbv and cachegrind to use this functionality.

The change eliminates the fixed size buffers in gen_suppression and
show_used_suppressions. This is achieved by changing the return type from
VG_TDICT_CALL(tool_get_extra_suppression_info and
VG_TDICT_CALL(tool_print_extra_suppression_use from Bool to SizeT.
A return value of 0 indicates that nothing (except the terminating '\0'
which is always inserted) was written to the buffer. This corresponds to the
previous False return value. A return value which is equal to the buffer
size (that was passed in as function argument) indicates that the buffer was
not large enough. The caller then resizes the buffer and retries.
Otherwise, the buffer was large enough.
Regtested with a resize value of 1.

of clo which are (or should be) 'enum set'.
* pub_tool_options.h : add new macrox VG_USET_CLO and VG_USETX_CLO to
parse an 'enum set' command line option (with or without "all" keyword).
* use VG_USET_CLO for existing enum set clo options:
memcheck --errors-for-leak-kinds, --show-leak-kinds, --leak-check-heuristics
coregrind --vgdb-stop-at
* change --sim-hints and --kernel-variants to enum set
(this allows to detect user typos: currently, a typo in a sim-hint
or kernel variant is silently ignored. Now, an error will be given
to the user)
* The 2 new sets (--sim-hints and --kernel-variants) should not make
use of the 'all' keyword => VG_(parse_enum_set) has a new argument
to enable/disable the use of the "all" keyword.
* The macros defining an 'all enum' set definition was duplicating
all enum values (so addition of a new enum value could easily
give a bug). Removing these macros as they are unused
(to the exception of the leak-kind set).
For this set, the 'all macro' has been replaced by an 'all function',
coded using parse_enum_set parsing the "all" keyword.

of memcheck and helgrind in a common module:
pub_tool_addrinfo.h pub_core_addrinfo.h m_addrinfo.c
At the same time, the factorised code is made usable by other
tools also (and is used by the gdbserver command 'v.info location'
which replaces the helgrind 'describe addr' introduced 1 week ago
and which is now callable by all tools).
The new address description code can describe more addresses
(e.g. for memcheck, if the block is not on the free list anymore,
but is in an arena free list, this will also be described).
Similarly, helgrind address description can now describe more addresses
when --read-var-info=no is given (e.g. global symbols are
described, or addresses on the stack are described as
being on the stack, freed blocks in the arena free list are
described, ...).
See e.g. the change in helgrind/tests/annotate_rwlock.stderr.exp
or locked_vs_unlocked2.stderr.exp
The patch touches many files, but is basically a lot of improvements
in helgrind output files.
The code changes are mostly refactorisation of existing code.

to put a "marker" msg in process log output
* v.info n_errs_found accepts optional msg, added in the output of
the monitor command.
* use VG_(printf) rather than VG_(gdb_printf) when output of command
should be redirected according to v.set gdb_output|log_output|mixed_output
* also avoid calling gdb_printf in output sink processing
to output zero bytes, as gdb_printf expects to have a null terminated
string, which is not ensured when 0 bytes have to be output.
* some minor reformatting (replace char* xxx by char *xxx).

vsnprintf does not do any addition to the buffer for an empty
format. So, buf was not null terminated.
This e.g. causes an assert_fail to output random characters
after the failed expression.
Fix by ensuring the buffer of vsnprintf is always null terminated
to start with.

__FILE__ and __func__ expand into string literals (or character

A '3 lines how to':
perl tests/vg_regtest --outer-valgrind=../trunk_untouched/install/bin/valgrind --all
(the outer results for a test xxx is in xxx.outer.log)
To run with another tool (e.g. drd), add the argument --outer-tool=drd
Still to do/things to improve:
* Most (inner) tests are successful when running under an outer
memcheck. Need to analyse the reasons of remaining failures.
* The memcheck annotations in m_mallocfree.c can be improved:
- A superblock is marked 'undefined', it should rather be marked
'no access'.
- When a free block is splitted, the remaining free block is
not made 'no access'. Instead, it is made 'undefined'.
=> this decreases the chance to find bugs.
=> this is not very efficient (e.g. the rest of a superblock
is often marked undefined repetitively).
Similarly, the free block created by VG_(arena_memalign)
is marked 'undefined'. 'No access' would be preferrable.
- mkInuseBlock marks the new block as undefined. This is probably
not needed, as VALGRIND_MALLOCLIKE_BLOCK will do it already.
- VG_(arena_malloc) should give the requested size to
VALGRIND_MALLOCLIKE_BLOCK, not the malloc usable size,
as this decreases the chance to find buffer overrun bugs.
But giving the requested size is tricky (see comments in
the code).
* need to do memcheck annotations in m_poolalloc.c
so as to allow leak checking for pool allocated elements.
* vg_regtest.in
- should analyse the results of the outer and should
produce a separate result for the tests for which
the outer detects an error or a memory leak or ...
Changes done:
README_DEVELOPERS: document the new outer/inner features.
manual-core.xml: document the new sim-hint no-inner-prefix
tests/outer_inner.supp: new file, containing the suppressions for inner.
vg_regtest.in: implement new args --outer-valgrind, --outer-tool, --outer-args.
m_mallocfree.c: annotations for memcheck.
m_libcprint.c: handle the new sim-hint no-inner-prefix
m_main.c: do an (early) parse of --sim-hints

To that effect observe the environment variable TMPDIR. If defined,
its value takes precedence over VG_TMPDIR.
Because the directory name is no longer a compile time constant,
VG_(err_config_error) was changed to take a variable argument list.

messages now begin with "valgrind: ", and they're more often printed before
the preamble. This required introducing a new message kind, Vg_FailMsg, and
functions VG_(fmsg) and VG_(fmsg_bad_option), and removing
VG_(err_bad_option).

This commit tidies up and rationalises what could be called the
"messaging" system -- that part of V to do with presenting output to
the user. In particular it brings significant improvements to XML
output.
Changes are:
* XML and normal text output now have separate file descriptors,
which solves longstanding problems for XML consumers caused by
the XML output getting polluted by unexpected non-XML output.
* This also means that we no longer have to hardwire all manner
of output settings (verbosity, etc) when XML is requested.
* The XML output format has been revised, cleaned up, and made
more suitable for use by error detecting tools in general
(various Memcheck-specific features have been removed). XML
output is enabled for Ptrcheck and Helgrind, and Memcheck is
updated to the new format.
* One side effect is that the behaviour of VG_(message) has been
made to be consistent with printf: it no longer automatically
adds a newline at the end of the output. This means multiple
calls to it can be used to build up a single line message; or a
single call can write a multi-line message. The ==pid==
preamble is automatically inserted at each newline.
* VG_(message)(Vg_UserMsg, ..args..) now has the abbreviated form
VG_(UMSG)(..args..); ditto VG_(DMSG) for Vg_DebugMsg and
VG_(EMSG) for Vg_DebugExtraMsg. A couple of other useful
printf derivatives have been added to pub_tool_libcprint.h,
most particularly VG_(vcbprintf).
* There's a small change in the core-tool interface to do with
error handling: VG_(needs_tool_errors) has a new method
void (*before_pp_Error)(Error* err) which, if non-NULL, is
called just before void (*pp_Error)(Error* err). This is to
give tools the chance to look at errors before any part of them
is printed, so they can print any XML preamble they like.
* coregrind/m_errormgr.c has been overhauled and cleaned up, and
is a bit simpler and more commented. In particular pp_Error
and VG_(maybe_record_error) are significantly changed.
The diff is huge, but mostly very boring. Most of the changes
are of the form
- VG_(message)(Vg_UserMsg, "this is a message %d", n);
+ VG_(message)(Vg_UserMsg, "this is a message %d\n", n);
Unfortunately as a result of this, it touches a large number
of source files.

causes child processes after fork to fall completely silent, which can
make the output a lot less confusing. In addition it is pretty much
essential in XML output mode, so as to avoid mixing up any child XML
output with the parent's.

interface, except for the syscall numbers, into that. Mostly this
means moving include/vki-*.h to include/vki/vki-*.h.
include/pub_tool_basics.h previously dragged in the entire kernel
interface. I've done away with that, so that modules which need to
see the kernel interface now have to include pub_{core,tool}_vki.h
explicitly. This is why there are many modified .c files -- they have
all acquired an extra #include line.
This certainly breaks all platforms except x86. Will fix shortly.
