People don't read documentation. Why not create a temporary addrcheck plugin that just says, "Sorry, addrcheck is not yet supported in valgrind 3.0.0. If you need it, use an earlier version" and then aborts? You can guarantee that should make the questions go away (at least, the questions will then be, "So when is it coming back?") Have fun, Avery |
