Cachegrind docs.
Removed the Cachegrind tech docs, because they're so out of date to be
useless. My PhD dissertation gives a much better description of how
Cachegrind works. (I mentioned this in the Cachegrind user manual.) The
only still-useful part of Cachegrind's tech docs, the output file format
description, I moved into the Cachegrind user manual.

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)).
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@5791
- removed ref to cachegrind.org
vg-html-website.xsl
vg-html-chunk.xsl
- common stuff stripped out, and placed in
vg-html-common.xsl
vg-entities.xml
- added 2 more website url entities to replace hard-coded urls
in FAQ.xml
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@5240
- removed a reference to cachegrind dot org from mc-tech-docs.xml
- in an effort to simplify future borked links, replaced all valgrind
website urls with entities so now we just have to change one string.
- new stylesheet to create the docs to 'fit' into the website
- added build rules 'make website-docs' + make download-docs
to /docs/Makefile.am
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@5239
bug-patches and created some new ones in the stylesheets.
Also tweaked some files to structure the xml properly.
The FAQ and the Quick-Start are now 'articles' inside a book-wrapper,
which is as it should be.
FAQ.xml
- due to various passivetex bug fixes, the faq is now a properly
structured xml qandaset document
quick-start-guide.xml:
manual.xml
- Fixed some passivetex-workaround kludges:
legalnotice -> author
manual-core.xml:
For readability, added '<command>' to varlistentry items
since passivetex (sigh) will no longer indent the para text.
index.xml:
- loads of white-space readability tweaks here and there.
tech-docs.xml
dist-docs.xml
manual.xml
- additional entries to <bookinfo> for compatability with
the rest of the docs.
/docs/Makefile.am
- added stuff to use the new vg-faq2txt.xsl stylesheet
/docs/lib/Makefile.am
- updated to reflect current contents of /docs/lib/
- removed refs to vg-html-single as is never ever used
/docs/lib/vg-fo.xsl
- massively updated to reflect losing old bugs and gaining new ones
/docs/lib/vg-common.xsl
- deleted as only contained two lines common to html and fo,
so not worth the bother of hauling around
/docs/lib/vg-html-chunk.xsl
- added what was in vg-common.xsl
/docs/lib/line-wrap.xsl
/docs/lib/faq2text.xsl
- two new stylesheet files for transforming FAQ.xml to FAQ.txt
