Hi Valgrind hackers, developers and users, Valgrind will have a devroom at FOSDEM 2014 on Sunday 2 February with the follow talks:
Valgrind Support in the Eclipse IDE Roland Grunberg 10:00 10:25 Testing of valgrind RPMs in RHEL Miroslav Franc 10:30 10:55 SimuVEX Yan Shoshitaishvili 11:00 11:50 Helgrind: a constraint-based data race detector Julian Seward 13:00 13:50 Porting Valgrind on Solaris Ivo Raisr, Petr Pavlu 14:00 14:25 GDB, so where are we now? Pedro Alves 15:00 15:25 Combining the power of Valgrind and GDB Philippe Waroquiers 15:30 15:55 BoF: Valgrind and GDB integration Tom Tromey 16:00 16:25 BoF: Ideas, new features and directions for Valgrind Mark Wielaard 16:30 17:45 More background information about the talks can be found at: https://fosdem.org/2014/schedule/track/valgrind/ For the last session we are still looking for ideas to discuss. It will be an open discussion, so anything you like can be discussed. The current list of discussion topics is: * Release/bugfixing strategy/policy. * Valgrind and transactional memory. * Making Valgrind really multi-threaded, parallelising Memcheck, parallelising the rest of the framework, and tools. * Better support compiled/JITted code. Allowing the JIT compiler to indicate to Valgrind the link between the JITted code and the source code. * Modify memcheck to report the last leaked pointer to a block integrate "omega" as a memcheck option or omega as a separate tool. http://www.brainmurders.eclipse.co.uk/omega.html * Should we continue to support MacOS? What about Valgrind on MS-Windows? * Make Callgrind work sanely on ARM. * Redo the JIT framework to reduce baseline overheads. * Packaging valgrind for distros, handling patches, suppressions, etc. * Flexible heuristic possibly leaked support. i.e. let the user specific an "expression" in a suppression file that if true would transform a possibly leaked into a reachable. * An interactive SQL relational interface to Valgrind data structures https://github.com/mfragkoulis/PiCO_QL/tree/master/src/Valgrind-mod I'll update the abstract of the BoF with the above and any other topics people will bring up: https://fosdem.org/2014/schedule/event/valgrind_bof/ If you want to put something on the Valgrind BoF agenda please send a small description (one or two paragraphs) to the the moderator Mark Wielaard m...@redhat.com with in the subject: "FOSDEM devroom discuss: ..." If you want to discuss a somewhat larger topic please do feel free to send two or three slides in advance. Mark will collect ideas/suggestions/... and present these and coordinate the discussion (and keep track of the time, so every idea will be discussed). Call For Video Volunteers The FOSDEM organization can provide us with equipment to record some or all of the talks in our devroom. But we need at volunteers to do the actual recordings. An ideal candidate for this job would be someone who is going to be watching talks in the Valgrind devroom most (or all) of the time anyway, and who doesn't mind watching after a camera and/or an audio mixer while watching the talk. While some A/V experience is obviously useful for the volunteer, it is absolutely not required; FOSDEM will provide the right gear and help set it up, and FOSDEM organizers will also provide enough information so the volunteers know what to do. This will include a live training session during the opening talk (in Janson) for those who want it. If you can and want to help record talks/discussions in the Valgrind devroom that would be really appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
