Re: [Valgrind-users] Using System Call in a Valgrind Tool

I tried to search for examples using system call in tools but it seems they(memcheck, massif, lackey) don't use it. Difficult to see what is going wrong without looking at (some of) the code. For sure, tools are e.g. calling VG_(getpid) without crashing :). For what concerns mmap, you should not use mmap syscall directly. Instead, you should use the interface of the Valgrind address space manager (i.e. pub_tool_aspacemgr.h). My question is, is it allowed to use system call in a valgrind tool? Is it recommended not to use system call? If it is allowed to use system call in a tool, what should I do to make this thing work? You can use syscalls, but you must have the interface defined for it. See e.g. m_libcproc.c and similar to see how the VG(xx) are providing the equivalent of the xx syscall.
