We are pleased to announce a new release of Valgrind, version 3.8.1, available from http://www.valgrind.org. See the attached release notes for details.
Happy (and productive) debugging and profiling, -- The Valgrind Developers Release 3.8.1 (19 September 2012) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3.8.1 is a bug fix release. It fixes some assertion failures in 3.8.0 that occur moderately frequently in real use cases, adds support for some missing instructions on ARM, and fixes a deadlock condition on MacOSX. If you package or deliver 3.8.0 for others to use, you might want to consider upgrading to 3.8.1 instead. 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. To see details of a given bug, visit https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=XXXXXX where XXXXXX is the bug number as listed below. 284004 == 301281 289584 Unhandled instruction: 0xF 0x29 0xE5 (MOVAPS) 295808 amd64->IR: 0xF3 0xF 0xBC 0xC0 (TZCNT) 298281 wcslen causes false(?) uninitialised value warnings 301281 valgrind hangs on OS X when the process calls system() 304035 disInstr(arm): unhandled instruction 0xE1023053 304867 implement MOVBE instruction in x86 mode 304980 Assertion 'lo <= hi' failed in vgModuleLocal_find_rx_mapping 305042 amd64: implement 0F 7F encoding of movq between two registers 305199 ARM: implement QDADD and QDSUB 305321 amd64->IR: 0xF 0xD 0xC (prefetchw) 305513 killed by fatal signal: SIGSEGV 305690 DRD reporting invalid semaphore when sem_trywait fails 305926 Invalid alignment checks for some AVX instructions 306297 disInstr(thumb): unhandled instruction 0xE883 0x000C 306310 3.8.0 release tarball missing some files 306612 RHEL 6 glibc-2.X default suppressions need /lib*/libc-*patterns 306664 vex amd64->IR: 0x66 0xF 0x3A 0x62 0xD1 0x46 0x66 0xF n-i-bz shmat of a segment > 4Gb does not work n-i-bz simulate_control_c script wrong USR1 signal number on mips n-i-bz vgdb ptrace calls wrong on mips [...] n-i-bz Fixes for more MPI false positives n-i-bz exp-sgcheck's memcpy causes programs to segfault n-i-bz OSX build w/ clang: asserts at startup n-i-bz Incorrect undef'dness prop for Iop_DPBtoBCD and Iop_BCDtoDPB n-i-bz fix a couple of union tag-vs-field mixups n-i-bz OSX: use __NR_poll_nocancel rather than __NR_poll The following bugs were fixed in 3.8.0 but not listed in this NEWS file at the time: 254088 Valgrind should know about UD2 instruction 301280 == 254088 301902 == 254088 304754 NEWS blows TeX's little mind (3.8.1.TEST2: 18 September 2012, vex r2537, valgrind r12994) (3.8.1: 18 September 2012, vex r2537, valgrind r12996) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
