Erm, I know I gave dire warnings etc but you can run stuff like kwrite in it if you want to give it a spin (although to be fair, it does hang the app if you try and save :D). I could really do with some feedback now the basics are all in place so if anyone can spare some time, I would be very appreciative. It does like C code better than C++ - its all to do with the memory handling (at least on this old x86 machine/installation of mine). thanks in advance, Bryan "Brain Murders" Meredith Bryan Meredith wrote: > Dear Valgrind Developers List, > > for those interested, you can find a patch against svn here: > > http://www.brainmurders.eclipse.co.uk/omega_ALPHA_04.patch.gz > > This is _ALPHA_ software and if it eats your system, you get to keep > whatever it spits out. > > > There are still problems: > > Ignore the docs - they need an update from early dreams to reality. > > (Why do so many libraries access memory inside of blocks that they have > called free() on? *sighs*) > > Note that this patches VEX in order to sort out an issue I have with > popping values off the stack. > > Only tested on x86 so far but amd64 shouldn't be too bad. > > Sometimes doesn't report a leak when you think it should - because I > have to track pointers in registers, we can't leak until the registers > are changed to something else.
