matching, in the function VG_(generic_match). Patterns to be matched
against may contain only '*'-style wildcards (matches any number of
elements, we don't care what they are), '?' wildcards (matches exactly
one element, we don't care what it is) and literal elements.
It is totally abstractified, in the sense that the pattern and input
arrays may be arrays of anything. The caller provides enough
information so that VG_(generic_match) can step along both arrays, and
can ask the questions "is this pattern element a '*' ?", "is this
pattern element a '?' ?", and "does this pattern element match an
input element ?".
The existing function VG_(string_match) is reimplemented using
VG_(generic_match), although the ability to escape metacharacters in
the pattern string is removed -- I don't think it was ever used.
In m_errormgr, matching of suppression stacks (including wildcard
"..." lines) against error stacks is re-implemented using
VG_(generic_match).
Further detailed comments are in m_seqmatch.h and pub_tool_seqmatch.h.
A negative side effect is that VG_(string_match) will be much slower
than before, due to the abstractification. It may be necessary to
reimplement a specialised version later.

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.

the string converted wasn't entirely numeric. Using them for numeric
command-line options -- previously if you had a option "--foo=<n>", where
<n> is supposed to be an integer, then "--foo=blah" would be interpreted as
"--foo=0", because the "blah" would be converted to zero and the remaining
chars wouldn't be noticed.
Fixed an incorrect command-line option in two massif tests that this change
exposed.

Memcheck, replacing the 9-bits-per-byte shadow memory representation to a
2-bits-per-byte representation (with possibly a little more on the side) by
taking advantage of the fact that extremely few memory bytes are partially
defined.
For the SPEC2k benchmarks with "test" inputs, this speeds up Memcheck by a
(geometric mean) factor of 1.20, and reduces the size of shadow memory by a
(geometric mean) factor of 4.26.
At the same time, Addrcheck is removed. It hadn't worked for quite some
time, and with these improvements in Memcheck its raisons-d'etre have
shrivelled so much that it's not worth the effort to keep around. Hooray!
Nb: this code hasn't been tested on PPC. If things go wrong, look first in
the fast stack-handling functions (eg. mc_new_mem_stack_160,
MC_(helperc_MAKE_STACK_UNINIT)).

changes from r4341 through r4787 inclusive). That branch is now dead.
Please do not commit anything else to it.
For the most part the merge was not troublesome. The main areas of
uncertainty are:
- build system: I had to import by hand Makefile.core-AM_CPPFLAGS.am
and include it in a couple of places. Building etc seems to still
work, but I haven't tried building the documentation.
- syscall wrappers: Following analysis by Greg & Nick, a whole lot of
stuff was moved from -generic to -linux after the branch was created.
I think that is satisfactorily glued back together now.
- Regtests: although this appears to work, no .out files appear, which
is strange, and makes it hard to diagnose regtest failures. In
particular memcheck/tests/x86/scalar.stderr.exp remains in a
conflicted state.
- amd64 is broken (slightly), and ppc32 will be unbuildable. I'll
attend to the former shortly.

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.
