To provide a first-hand success story, this patch proved essential to our development team recently. We have had a long-standing memory corruption bug that was impossible to track down because running the testcase under Valgrind took upwards of 10 days, and the run consistently died before getting to the problem. With Christoph's patch, the run finished in 2 days, and correctly pointed out the bug. No other tool in our arsenal flagged the problem - we are highly dependent on Valgrind for any Linux-specific problems! Thus, I would urge the Valgrind developers to validate and adopt this patch so that it may become official, and the general community may use it. Thanks for your efforts in making this a world-class tool! -Greg Schaeffer |
