Hello fellow Valgrind users!
Could someone in the know please clarify the support of TLS in
Valgrind/Helgrind?
I am running Helgrind (version 3.7.0) on our code, which makes heavy use of
TLS on GCC 4.5.1 with GLIBC 2.13. I am seeing a lot of what I believe are
false positives, where a thread local variable is read on one thread and
set on another "simultaneously". I don't see any possible way that there
is contention since different threads are involved and by definition this
access is safe. This leads me to believe that Helgrind is not recognizing
the fact that the variables are thread-local.
I have tried using VALGRIND_HG_DISABLE_CHECKING( ) on some of these
variables, but even that seems to not work consistently. It's important to
us for Valgrind tests to pass since we need to hand off the binaries to
another group and they use Valgrind to validate their releases.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
