The dbx group is actively working on implementing access checking
on x86, but we don't have very much confidence right now that
we'll be able to implement anything that operates in less than
glacial time.

To make this practical, we need the following RFE implemented in
Solaris x86:

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6284894

That URL won't tell you anything because someone pulled 100%
of the bug into the 'comments' field which is not public.
It would be helpful if someone would go through the bug and
move the non-proprietary words into the 'description' field
so that external users could see it.

I'm cc:ing the contributors to the discussion in that bug.

Hi!

Is there any tool which provides the "dbx -check access" functionality
for Solaris/AMD64 ? I am hitting a serious probem with ksh93 right now
which is AMD64/64bit-specific and I am unable to track it down right
now... my normal route would be to use "dbx -check access" but dbx in
Studio 11 just says this:
-- snip --
(dbx) check -access
dbx: warning: access checking is not available on x86
access checking - OFF
-- snip --
It seems "valgrind" is not available on Solaris/AMD64, libumem is
useless because ksh93 uses libast's memory allocator (which is quite
complex and cannot easily be replaced by something else) and I do not
have a Rational Purify license... ;-(

Any ideas/suggestions/etc. welcome...

Bye,
Roland
