2e6b7655d1 New flag --require-text-symbol=:sopatt:fnpatt, to be used to check
that specified shared objects contain specified symbols.  Along with a
couple of regtests that unfortunately will fail on MacOSX.

53596eaf4a The help text printed by command-line option -h does now show the default

426c137045 New flag: --trace-children-skip=patt1,patt2,etc
Specifies a comma-separated list of executable-names
(with "*" and "?" wildcards allowed) that should not be traced into
even when --trace-children=yes.  Modified version of a patch
from Bill Hoffman.  Fixes #148932.

8ffe2fdefa Tidy up of messaging:
* For all tools and the core, don't show statistics when -v is in
  effect.  Instead, try to restrict -v to mostly user-useful
  stuff.

* A new flag --stats=no|yes [no] produces statistics output instead.

* Fix longstanding problem in that Memcheck's leak checker ran after
  the core's error manager module shut down, thereby not showing use
  counts of leak suppressions.  This fixes #186790.

* As a consequence, the leak checker text output of Memcheck has
  changed a bit -- leak check is done before the final error
  summary is done (much more logical), and the output has been
  tidied up a bit.

* Helgrind, Drd and Ptrcheck now also print "For counts of
  detected and suppressed errors, rerun with: -v", which makes
  them consistent with Memcheck in this regard.  These are
  filtered out by the regtest filter scripts.

For all tools except Memcheck, the regtests are unchanged.  On
Memcheck regtests still fail due to rearrangements of the leak
checker output.  This will be fixed by a followup commit.

8026c4766f Various option-related tweaks:
- Match the ordering of the non-tool-specific options in the usage message
  with the order in the user manual.  As a result, we now always print
  --alignment and --trace-malloc in the core's usage messages, which saves
  malloc-replacing tools from doing it themselves (and brings it in line
  with options that only apply to error-collecting tools).

- Improved the presentation of the Vex options with --help-debug.

- Removed documentation of -d in the manual because it's a debugging-only flag.

- Documented --read-var-info in the manual.  This fixes bug 201169.

- Renamed --auto-run-dsymutil as --dsymutil and documented it in the usage
  message.

- Fixed an XML error in manual-core-adv.xml.

78b2e5c83e Started overhauling the documentation:
- There were detailed descriptions of all the tools in the Quick Start
  Guide, the Manual introduction, and the start of each tool chapter.  To
  avoid duplication/overlap, I removed these altogether from the Quick Start
  Guide, and shortened them in the intro.

- Improved the description of what errors Memcheck can find.

- Made all tool chapters start with "Overview" section, for consistency.

- Made the "run with --tool=XXX" bit consistent in each tool chapter.

- Made all tool chapter titles match the description given when running them.

- Added BBV to the User Manual intro.

- Generally clarified, updated, and future-proofed various bits of text in
  the Quick Start Guide and User Manual introduction. 

Also:
- Changed Nulgrind's start-up description to "the minimal Valgrind tool".

- Fixed some punctuation in the usage message.

4f282e99ce Improve handling of programs which require very large main thread
stacks.  Instead of hardwiring the main thread stack to a max of 16MB
and segfaulting the app beyond that point, allow the user to specify
the main stack size using the new flag --main-stacksize=<number>.

If said flag is not present, the current default, which is "MIN(16GB,
current ulimit -s value)", is used.

9ce21c9e69 Fixed up various command line option scenarios:
- If no tool is specified, V now gives a short message and a list of
    available tools.  This was meant to happen previously, but a bug prevented
    it from working properly;  it gave the usage message instead.

  - If a bad option is given, V now gives a short message rather than the full
    --help.  This make V consistent with all other programs I looked at.

  - Now returning 0 when you do 'valgrind --help' and 'valgrind --version'
    as other programs do.

  - Removed VG_(startup_logging)() and VG_(shutdown_logging)() as they were
    empty and have been for a long time (always?).

  - Added various tests for these scenarios.  Had to change the regtest
    script slightly to allow for malformed command lines.

This addresses bug (wishlist) #82999.
