requests to allow client code to print messages through Valgrind's
logging mechanism. The new requests are:
VALGRIND_PRINTF - do a normal printf (prefixed with **PID**)
VALGRIND_PRINTF_BACKTRACE - do a printf with stack trace
VALGRIND_INTERNAL_PRINTF - printf, but for internal use (prefixed with ==PID==)
VALGRIND_INTERNAL_PRINTF_BACKTRACE - as above, with backtrace

valgrind.h. Although these requests are not implemented by the core, they can
be implemented by skins that track heap blocks, eg. Memcheck, Annelid, Massif.
This is in preparation for committing Massif to the repository.
I think I managed to make the change in a binary-compatible way. The only
inconvenience for users is that if they have a client program compiled with the
old requests in, Valgrind will abort with an explanatory message that tells
them to recompile. Once they've done that (no changes to their program are
required), it works again.
I even updated the docs.

requests from the Memcheck requests and putting the descriptions in the
appropriate parts of the docs.
Removed the __VALGRIND_SOME_SKIN_H test -- it was designed to prevent people
#including valgrind.h when they probably want memcheck.h, but it's actually a
reasonable thing to do to #include valgrind.h alone, because there are some
requests in valgrind.h.
Removed references to VALGRIND_MAKE_NOACCESS_STACK from the docs, as it doesn't
exist in the implementation.
Fixed a few other minor things.

returned (bytes leaked, dubious, etc) were incremented for every leak check
performed. So if you called VALGRIND_DO_LEAK_CHECK twice in a row, the totals
would be updated twice by the same amount. This was a bit silly. So now
COUNT_LEAKS just returns the numbers of bytes leaked found from the previous
leak check. I even updated the docs, and changed the regression test so old
version fail but the new version passes (by doing two DO_LEAK_CHECKS in a row).

--gdb-path=/path/to/gdb allows running some alternate GDB
--input-fd=<n> allows reading input from some fd other than stdin
I even updated the docs :-)

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.

The first returns the number of errors found so far, and is a core request.
The second returns the number of bytes found
reachable/dubious/leaked/suppressed by all leak checks so far, for Memcheck and
Addrcheck.
Both are useful for using Valgrind in regression test suites where multiple
tests are present in a single file -- one can run Valgrind with no output
(using --logfile-fd=-1) and use the requests after each test to determine if
any errors happened.
Had to rename and make public vg_n_errs_found --> VG_(n_errs_found) to do so.
Nb: leak errors are not counted as errors for the purposes of
VALGRIND_COUNT_ERRORS. This was decided as the best thing to do after
discussion with Olly Betts, who original suggested these changes.
Pulled out common client request code shared between Memcheck and Addrcheck.
Added a regression test for this.
Added some documentation too.

neatens other things up.
Also, it adds the --gen-suppressions option for automatically generating
suppressions for each error.
Note that it changes the core/skin interface:
SK_(dup_extra_and_update)() is replaced by SK_(update_extra)(), and
SK_(get_error_name)() and SK_(print_extra_suppression_info)() are added.

details
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Removed ac_common.c -- it just #included another .c file; moved the
#include into ac_main.c.
Introduced "mac_" prefixes for files shared between Addrcheck and Memcheck,
to make it clearer which code is shared. Also using a "MAC_" prefix for
functions and variables and types that are shared. Addrcheck doesn't see
the "MC_" prefix at all.
Factored out almost-identical mc_describe_addr() and describe_addr()
(AddrCheck's version) into MAC_(describe_addr)().
Got rid of the "pp_ExeContext" closure passed to SK_(pp_SkinError)(), it
wasn't really necessary.
Introduced MAC_(pp_shared_SkinError)() for the error printing code shared by
Addrcheck and Memcheck. Fixed some bogus stuff in Addrcheck error messages
about "uninitialised bytes" (there because of an imperfect conversion from
Memcheck).
Moved the leak checker out of core (vg_memory.c), into mac_leakcheck.c.
- This meant the hacky way of recording Leak errors, which was different to
normal errors, could be changed to something better: introduced a
function VG_(unique_error)(), which unlike VG_(maybe_record_error)() just
prints the error (unless suppressed) but doesn't record it. Used for
leaks; a much better solution all round as it allowed me to remove a lot
of almost-identical code from leak handling (is_suppressible_leak(),
leaksupp_matches_callers()).
- As part of this, changed the horrible SK_(dup_extra_and_update) into the
slightly less horrible SK_(update_extra), which returns the size of the
`extra' part for the core to duplicate.
- Also renamed it from VG_(generic_detect_memory_leaks)() to
MAC_(do_detect_memory_leaks). In making the code nicer w.r.t suppressions
and error reporting, I tied it a bit more closely to Memcheck/Addrcheck,
and got rid of some of the args. It's not really "generic" any more, but
then it never really was. (This could be undone, but there doesn't seem
to be much point.)
STREQ and STREQN were #defined in several places, and in two different ways.
Made global macros VG_STREQ, VG_CLO_STREQ and VG_CLO_STREQN in vg_skin.h.
Added the --gen-suppressions code. This required adding the functions
SK_(get_error_name)() and SK_(print_extra_suppression_info)() for skins that
use the error handling need.
Added documentation for --gen-suppressions, and fixed some other minor document
problems.
Various other minor related changes too.

where I _should_ have put them in the first place, and fix up the
Makefile.am's accordingly. 'make' and 'make install' now work.
