5e6c90ea75 Improve error reports for addressing errors in the presence of
mempools: try and relate an invalid address to known mempool
allocated blocks, and if that fails, to malloc'd blocks that
back the mempool.  See #254420.

5b1edb07f6 When generating XML output for suppressions, print the suppression
both wrapped up in XML tags (as before) but also in plain text in a
sequence of CDATA blocks.  Normally only one, but in the worst case
the raw data will have ]]> in it, in which case it needs to be split
across two CDATA blocks.

This apparently simple change involved a lot of refactoring of the
suppression printing machinery:

* in the core-tool iface, change "print_extra_suppression_info" (which
  prints any auxiliary info) to "get_extra_suppression_info", which
  parks the text in a caller-supplied buffer.  Adjust tools to match.

* VG_(apply_StackTrace): accept a void* argument, which is passed to
  each invokation of the functional parameter (a poor man's closure
  implementation).

* move PRINTF_CHECK into put_tool_basics.h, where it should have been
  all along

* move private printf-into-an-XArray-of-character functions from
  m_debuginfo into m_xarray, and make them public

* gen_suppression itself: use all the above changes.  Basically we
  always generate the plaintext version into an XArray.  In text mode
  that's just printed.  In XML mode, we print the XMLery as before,
  but the plaintext version is dumped into a CDATA block too.

* update the Protocol 4 specification to match all this.

This still isn't 100% right in the sense that the CDATA block data
needs to be split across multiple blocks if it should ever contain the
CDATA end mark "]]>".  The Protocol 4 spec has this right even though
the implementation currently doesn't.

Fixes #191189.

829fbc977d Output tweaks:
- Always print a blank line after significant messages (eg. errors).  This
  makes the handling of blank lines much simpler.

- Don't print full stops at the end of messages.  We mostly don't do it, so
  I got rid of all the remaining ones I could find for consistency.

- Use --leak-check=full rather than --leak-check=yes, for consistency with
  docs and other messages.

- Update partiallydefinedeq.stderr.exp2 for older changes.

This commit only updates the code.  Test updates will follow shortly.  (I'm
separating them so the code changes aren't swamped by the test changes in
the SVN logs.)

d7ed7f6a13 (almost completely just function renaming):
* VG_(find_seginfo): incrementally rearrange the DebugInfo list, like
  most of the other list-searching functions do.

* rename all VG_(*seginfo*) functions exported from m_debuginfo to
  VG_(*DebugInfo*).  "seginfo" was a historical name which was mostly
  but not completely, done away with some time back.

2919d92191 Fixed a bug in the code for reading suppression files: the line numbers
reported in error messages were not correct. As an example, the following
output was produced before this patch (not correct):
$ ./vg-in-place --tool=helgrind --num-callers=1 /bin/true
...
FATAL: in suppressions file ".in_place/default.supp" near line 893:
   suppression must contain at least one location line which is not "..."
exiting now.
$ ./vg-in-place --tool=drd --num-callers=1 /bin/true
FATAL: in suppressions file ".in_place/default.supp" near line 475:
   suppression must contain at least one location line which is not "..."
exiting now.

After having applied this patch the above commands display line numbers
1104 and 619, referring to the first suppression pattern containing
three dots for the topmost stack frame, as expected.

68efb29503 A fix for bug 186796: suppression symbol names were being truncated if they
were longer than 200 chars.  Now dynamic memory is used and so they can be
arbitrarily long in theory, although in practice it bombs out at 100,000 for
sanity purposes.  This required adjusting the core/tool interface for
read_extra_suppression_info().

07045477ca Merge the DARWIN branch onto the trunk.
I tried using 'svn merge' to do the merge but it did a terrible job and
there were bazillions of conflicts.  So instead I just took the diff between
the branch and trunk  at r10155, applied the diff to the trunk, 'svn add'ed
the added files (no files needed to be 'svn remove'd) and committed.

fbe37d96a8 Fix bug #191182, where printing the leak checker results was really slow if
there were a lot of loss records.

The fix was:
- Avoid the O(m * n) looping over the chunks when creating the loss
  records, by putting loss records into an OSet instead of a list, which
  makes duplicate detection for each chunk an O(log n) operation instead of
  an O(n) operation.
- Avoid the looping over loss records which was used to do a poor
  man's sort, but was O(n^2).  Instead copy pointers to the loss records
  from the OSet into an array and sort it normally with VG_(ssort) (n log n,
  usually) before printing.

This approach was similar to that used in the patch Philippe attached to the
bug report.

Other changes:
- Added Philippe's test programs in the new memcheck/perf directory.  It
  used to take 57s on my machine, now it takes 1.6s.
- Cleaned up massif/perf/Makefile.am to be consistent with other Makefiles.
- Improved some comments relating to VgHashTable and OSet.
- Avoided a redundant traversal of the hash table in VG_(HT_to_array), also
  identified by Philippe..
- Made memcheck/tests/mempool's results independent of the pointer size, and
  thus was able to remove its .stderr.exp64 file.

5a682bb3cf Renamed various things for clarity. Added some comments. And fixed the
dubious find-minimum-loss-record loop in print_results(), which was using an
inconsistent mixture of szB and szB+indirect_szB.  

Two test results changed, just different sort orders for same-sized loss
records.

bafed25ae9 This commit completely overhauls the leak checker. In particular:
- It heavily refactors the code:  uses better names for things, splits up
  complex functions that behaved very differently depending on how they were
  called, removes some redundancies, and generally makes it much simpler and
  easier to follow.

- It adds lots of comments, both inline, and also a big explanatory one at
  the top which makes it clear exactly how the leak checker works and also
  exactly what is meant by definite, possible, and indirect leaks.  It also
  has some ideas for future improvements.

- All tabs have been converted to spaces.

It also improves the functionality:

- Previously if you did --leak-check=summary, indirect and suppressed
  blocks were counted as definite leaks.  Now they are done properly, and so
  the summary results from --leak-check=summary match those from
  --leak-check=yes.

- Previously, some possibly reachable blocks were miscategorised as
  definitely reachable, because only the pointer to the block itself was
  considered, not any preceding pointers in the chain.  This is now fixed.

- Added memcheck/tests/leak-cases, which fully tests all the possible
  combinations of directly/indirectly reachable and possibly/definitely
  reachable.

And it improves the manual quite a bit, and the FAQ a little bit.

This doesn't fix the leak checker to handle MALLOCLIKE_BLOCK works that have
been taken from within malloc'd blocks, but I think I know how to do it and
hope to do so in a subsequent commit.

It also changes all instances of "<constant>memcheck</constant>" in the
Memcheck manual to "Memcheck", for consistency and because "Memcheck" is
easier to write.  There's one similar case for DRD but I didn't change that.

5ad1dd61f9 Introduce a new type, PtrdiffT. Replace lots of uses of OffT (all those
that are memory offsets) with PtrdiffT;  OffT should only be used for file
sizes and offsets.

Change Off64T from a ULong to a Long, as it should be.  Replace some uses
of ULong in the address space manager with Off64T to match.

Also add a comment explaining the meanings of the basic types like Addr,
OffT, SizeT, etc.

Also fix the prototype for VG_(pread) -- the last arg is an OffT, not an
Int.

335992d8fc Merge all remaining changes from branches/PTRCHECK. These are some
relatively minor extensions to m_debuginfo, a major overhaul of
m_debuginfo/readdwarf3.c to get its space usage under control, and
changes throughout the system to enable heap-use profiling.

The majority of the merged changes were committed into
branches/PTRCHECK as the following revs: 8591 8595 8598 8599 8601 and
8161.
