converted by Donna. Hooked it into the build system so they are only built when specifically asked for, and when doing "make dist". They're not perfect; in particular, there are the following problems: - The plain-text FAQ should be built from FAQ.xml, but this is not currently done. (The text FAQ has been left in for now.) - The PS/PDF building doesn't work -- it fails with an incomprehensible error message which I haven't yet deciphered. Nonetheless, I'm putting it in so others can see it. git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@3153

<title>CoreCheck: a very simple error detector</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>CoreCheck is a very simple tool for Valgrind. It adds no
|
|
instrumentation to the program's code, and only reports the few
|
|
kinds of errors detected by Valgrind's core. It is mainly of use
|
|
for Valgrind's developers for debugging and regression
|
|
testing.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The errors detected are those found by the core when
|
|
<computeroutput>VG_(needs).core_errors</computeroutput> is set.
|
|
These include:</para>
