[Valgrind-users] helgrind status

[Dennis L. <pla...@pr...>]

Hi,

I know I must be getting on some peoples nerves with this question, but
whats the current status of helgrind? (If I would have the slightest
knowledge of V code I would try to get it working myself, but its a bit
over my head).

One of the reasons I ask is -- beside that I personally could use it
from time to time -- that Intel now has a 2-die 4-core CPU, and for a
while now those dual-core things. This makes threading bugs reveal
themselves as segfaults much more common than on the traditional
time-sharing systems with one CPU, since now things almost really run in
parallel.

Helgrind could jump in here and help people getting their multithreaded
programs fit for those new CPUs quite fast.

greets

Dennis
