Hi Julian, I am no longer in a position to do any serious Solaris maintenance. I don't have resources and access to Solaris source code which is necessary to get a deep understanding of the underlying problems. One manifestation is a message received yesterday: it seems that new Solaris 11.4 does things differently than 11.3 did, at least in debug info area. Another manifestation is a lack of bugs opened against Solaris support in Valgrind in the past year ;-) So it would be fair to say that Solaris port is supported on a voluntary effort basis in general and Valgrind on Solaris 11.4 has not been tested. Anyway, future of Solaris is quite murky [1] (search for "11.4"). I'd like to hear of any (prospective) maintainers from illumos community as well [2]. Kind regards, Ivosh [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(operating_system) [2] https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/T5f2d86b0b56e6f31-Mcede5f51be0764230a7f7310/illumos-valgrind-maintainer-needed _______________________________________________ Valgrind-users mailing list Valgrind-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/valgrind-users
