[Valgrind-developers] drd 2007-11-18

[Bart V. A. <bar...@gm...>]

A new drd version is available at the following location:
http://home.euphonynet.be/bvassche/valgrind/valgrind-7182-drd-2007-11-18.patch.gz

Changes compared to version 2007-11-17:
- Renamed the tool from exp_drd into exp-drd.
- Added #define _GNU_SOURCE where appropriate in the drd source code
such that it now compiles with older glibc libraries.
- Updated exp-drd/tests/filter_stderr such that the experimental tool
notice is removed before comparing regression test results.
- Added a regression test that verifies that no false positives are
reported in signal handlers.

Most important known bugs:
- drd is soon killed by the OOM handler when started with bigger clients.

You can apply this patch with the following commands:
cd valgrind
zcat ../valgrind-7182-drd-2007-11-18.patch.gz | patch -p0
chmod a+x exp-drd/tests/filter*
