Attempting to use valgrind on my system gives me an 'unrecognised instruction'
error. I am reasonably sure that it's a valgrind issue
Minimal working example:
----------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
double val = atof(argv[1]);
printf("the log of %lf is %lf\n", val, log(val));
return 0;
}
-----------------------
Compiled and executed with:
$ gcc -o logtest logtest.c -lm
$ ./logtest 32
the log of 32.000000 is 3.465736
$ valgrind --tool=callgrind ./logtest 32

==25013== Your program just tried to execute an instruction that Valgrind
==25013== did not recognise. There are two possible reasons for this.
==25013== 1. Your program has a bug and erroneously jumped to a non-code
==25013== location. If you are running Memcheck and you just saw a
==25013== warning about a bad jump, it's probably your program's fault.
==25013== 2. The instruction is legitimate but Valgrind doesn't handle it,
==25013== i.e. it's Valgrind's fault. If you think this is the case or
==25013== you are not sure, please let us know and we'll try to fix it.
==25013== Either way, Valgrind will now raise a SIGILL signal which will
==25013== probably kill your program.

Other tools have the same issue.
I am running this on a AMD FX(tm)-8150, and libm would have been compiled with
gcc 4.6.3 `-O2 -pipe -march=native -mtune=native`, which gives settings flags
$ gcc -c -Q -march=native --help=target

---------------------
Any suggestions on fixing this? I'm not entirely sure how I would go about
making a valgrind-friendly libm, and don't really want to recompile my system
without SSE just to do a bit of debugging...
Thanks,
