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. git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@4789

Building and not installing it
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
To run Valgrind without having to install it, run coregrind/valgrind
|
|
with the VALGRIND_LIB environment variable set, where <dir> is the root
|
|
of the source tree (and must be an absolute path). Eg:
|
|
|
|
VALGRIND_LIB=~/grind/head4/.in_place ~/grind/head4/coregrind/valgrind
|
|
|
|
This allows you to compile and run with "make" instead of "make install",
|
|
saving you time.
|
|
|
|
I recommend compiling with "make --quiet" to further reduce the amount of
|
|
output spewed out during compilation, letting you actually see any errors,
|
|
warnings, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running the regression tests
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
To build and run all the regression tests, run "make [--quiet] regtest".
|
|
|
|
To run a subset of the regression tests, execute:
|
|
|
|
perl tests/vg_regtest <name>
|
|
|
|
where <name> is a directory (all tests within will be run) or a single
|
|
.vgtest test file, or the name of a program which has a like-named .vgtest
|
|
file. Eg:
|
|
|
|
perl tests/vg_regtest memcheck
|
|
perl tests/vg_regtest memcheck/tests/badfree.vgtest
|
|
perl tests/vg_regtest memcheck/tests/badfree
|
|
|

Debugging Valgrind with GDB
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
To debug stage 1 just run it under GDB in the normal way.
|
|
|
|
To debug Valgrind proper (stage 2) with GDB, start Valgrind like this:
|
|
|
|
valgrind --tool=none --wait-for-gdb=yes <prog>
|
|
|
|
Then start gdb like this in another terminal:
|
|
|
|
gdb /usr/lib/valgrind/stage2 <pid>
|
|
|
|
Where <pid> is the pid valgrind printed. Then set whatever breakpoints
|
|
you want and do this in gdb:
|
|
|
|
jump *$eip
|
|
