following improvements:
- Arch/OS/platform-specific files are now included/excluded via the
preprocessor, rather than via the build system. This is more consistent
(we use the pre-processor for small arch/OS/platform-specific chunks
within files) and makes the build system much simpler, as the sources for
all programs are the same on all platforms.
- Vast amounts of cut+paste Makefile.am code has been factored out. If a
new platform is implemented, you need to add 11 extra Makefile.am lines.
Previously it was over 100 lines.
- Vex has been autotoolised. Dependency checking now works in Vex (no more
incomplete builds). Parallel builds now also work. --with-vex no longer
works; it's little use and a pain to support. VEX/Makefile is still in
the Vex repository and gets overwritten at configure-time; it should
probably be renamed Makefile-gcc to avoid possible problems, such as
accidentally committing a generated Makefile. There's a bunch of hacky
copying to deal with the fact that autotools don't handle same-named files
in different directories. Julian plans to rename the files to avoid this
problem.
- Various small Makefile.am things have been made more standard automake
style, eg. the use of pkginclude/pkglib prefixes instead of rolling our
own.
- The existing five top-level Makefile.am include files have been
consolidated into three.
- Most Makefile.am files now are structured more clearly, with comment
headers separating sections, declarations relating to the same things next
to each other, better spacing and layout, etc.
- Removed the unused exp-ptrcheck/tests/x86 directory.
- Renamed some XML files.
- Factored out some duplicated dSYM handling code.
- Split auxprogs/ into auxprogs/ and mpi/, which allowed the resulting
Makefile.am files to be much more standard.
- Cleaned up m_coredump by merging a bunch of files that had been
overzealously separated.
The net result is 630 fewer lines of Makefile.am code, or 897 if you exclude
the added Makefile.vex.am, or 997 once the hacky file copying for Vex is
removed. And the build system is much simpler.

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.

numbers) when Valgrind is running Wine. Modified version of a
patch by John Reiser (vgsvn+wine-load-pdb-debuginfo.patch) with
extensions to read a second format of line number tables.
Wine uses a new client request, VG_USERREQ__LOAD_PDB_DEBUGINFO,
to tell Valgrind when to read PDB info. Wine's implementation
of module loading is vastly different from that used by
ld-linux.so, and it is too difficult to recognize what is going
on just by observing the calls to mmap and mprotect.

- Now more clearly distinguishing between C++-demangling, Z-demangling, and
below-main renaming, particularly in 'get_sym_name'.
- --demangle=no no longer prevents Z-demangling, which makes more sense,
although it's unlikely to affect anyone.
- Broke the circular dependency between m_demangle and m_debuginfo by moving
below-main renaming into m_debuginfo.
- Renamed some get_fnname_* functions to make their effect clearer, and
improved their comments.

this, --show-below-main is now visible to tools, and Massif pays attention
to it.
Improved the description of --show-below-main=yes in the manual.
Replaced some instances of "__libc_start_main" in the test *.exp files with
"(below main)", which is what will actually be seen. Also updated
scalar.stderr.exp*, which should make it get closer to actually passing.

stack unwind mechanism (the function VG_(record_ExeContext) et al),
clears up some associated kludges, and makes suppression matching work
more reliably.
Prior to this commit, a stack snapshot contained, at [0], the IP of
the relevant thread, and at all positions [1] and above, the return
addresses for the open calls.
When showing a snapshot to the user (in VG_(apply_StackTrace)), and
searching the stack for stack blocks (in VG_(get_data_description)), 1
is subtracted from positions [1] and above, so as to move these return
addresses back to the last byte of the calling instruction. This
subtraction is also done even in VG_(get_StackTrace_wrk) itself, in
order to make the stack unwinding work at all.
It turns out that suppression-vs-function-name matching requires the
same hack, and sometimes failed to match suppressions that should
match, because of this self-same problem.
So the commit changes the stack unwinder itself, so that entries [1]
and above point to the last byte of the call instruction, rather than
the return address. The associated kludges in VG_(apply_StackTrace)
and VG_(get_StackTrace_wrk) are removed, and suppression matching is
observed to work in a case where it failed before.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@8818
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.
