[Valgrind-developers] RFC: making Valgrind easier to use with multi-process programs

[Nicholas N. <n.n...@gm...>]

Hi,

There's been some discussion recently on the valgrind-developers list
about improving the --trace-children=yes option by allowing which
child processes are traced via a black-list and/or white-list.

I've written up a design discussion and set of proposals at
http://blog.mozilla.com/nnethercote/2009/04/30/making-valgrind-easier-to-use-with-multi-process-programs/
 Comments would be welcome -- having use cases from other users would
be very helpful.  (And it's probably better to add comments on the
blog post rather than in reply to this mail, to avoid splitting the
conversation.)

Thanks.

Nick
