Release 3.16.0 (22 May 2020)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3.16.0 is a feature release with many improvements and the usual
collection of
bug fixes.
This release supports X86/Linux, AMD64/Linux, ARM32/Linux, ARM64/Linux,
PPC32/Linux, PPC64BE/Linux, PPC64LE/Linux, S390X/Linux, MIPS32/Linux,
MIPS64/Linux, ARM/Android, ARM64/Android, MIPS32/Android, X86/Android,
X86/Solaris, AMD64/Solaris and AMD64/MacOSX 10.12. There is also
preliminary
support for X86/macOS 10.13, AMD64/macOS 10.13 and nanoMIPS/Linux.
* ==================== CORE CHANGES ===================
* It is now possible to dynamically change the value of many command line
options while your program (or its children) are running under Valgrind.
To see the list of dynamically changeable options, run
"valgrind --help-dyn-options".
You can change the options from the shell by using vgdb to launch
the monitor command "v.clo <clo option>...".
The same monitor command can be used from a gdb connected
to the valgrind gdbserver.
Your program can also change the dynamically changeable options using
the client request VALGRIND_CLO_CHANGE(option).
* ================== PLATFORM CHANGES =================
* MIPS: preliminary support for nanoMIPS instruction set has been added.
* ==================== TOOL CHANGES ====================
* DHAT:
- The implicit memcpy done by each call to realloc now counts towards
the
read and write counts of resized heap blocks, making those counts
higher
and more accurate.
* Cachegrind:
- cg_annotate's --auto and --show-percs options now default to 'yes',
because
they are usually wanted.
* Callgrind:
- callgrind_annotate's --auto and --show-percs options now default to
'yes',
because they are usually wanted.
- The command option --collect-systime has been enhanced to specify
the unit used to record the elapsed time spent during system calls.
The command option now accepts the values no|yes|msec|usec|nsec,
where yes is a synonym of msec. When giving the value nsec, the
system cpu time of system calls is also recorded.
* Memcheck:
- Several memcheck options are now dynamically changeable.
Use valgrind --help-dyn-options to list them.
- The release 3.15 introduced a backward incompatible change for
some suppression entries related to preadv and pwritev syscalls.
When reading a suppression entry using the unsupported 3.14 format,
valgrind will now produce a warning to say the suppression entry will
not
work, and suggest the needed change.
- Significantly fewer false positive errors on optimised code generated
by
Clang and GCC. In particular, Memcheck now deals better with the
situation where the compiler will transform C-level "A && B" into "B
&& A"
under certain circumstances (in which the transformation is valid).
Handling of integer equality/non-equality checks on partially defined
values is also improved on some architectures.
* exp-sgcheck:
- The exprimental Stack and Global Array Checking tool has been removed.
It only ever worked on x86 and amd64, and even on those it had a
high false positive rate and was slow. An alternative for detecting
stack and global array overruns is using the AddressSanitizer (ASAN)
facility of the GCC and Clang compilers, which require you to rebuild
your code with -fsanitize=address.
* ==================== OTHER CHANGES ====================
* New and modified GDB server monitor features:
- Option -T tells vgdb to output a timestamp in the vgdb information
messages.
- The gdbserver monitor commands that require an address and an optional
length argument now accepts the alternate 'C like' syntax
"address[length]".
For example, the memcheck command "monitor who_points_at 0x12345678
120"
can now also be given as "monitor who_points_at 0x12345678[120]".
* ==================== FIXED BUGS ====================
The following bugs have been fixed or resolved. Note that "n-i-bz"
stands for "not in bugzilla" -- that is, a bug that was reported to us
but never got a bugzilla entry. We encourage you to file bugs in
bugzilla (https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=valgrind) rather
than mailing the developers (or mailing lists) directly -- bugs that
are not entered into bugzilla tend to get forgotten about or ignored.
