[Valgrind-users] core dump improvements - fix order of threads

[Matthias S. <zz...@ge...>]

Hi there!

Comparing the output from gdb attached to valgrind gdbserver and the 
core file valgrind creates, the thread order is inverted.
As I have more minor issues with gdb and valgrind core files, I do not 
known if this is always the case.

For exactly this problem I have two possible solutions:
A. Change the loop over all threads to be reversed:

- for(i = 1; i < VG_N_THREADS; i++) {

+ for(i = VG_N_THREADS - 1; i >= 1 ; i--) {


B. Change the function add_note (or related notes processing code), to 
output the notes in the order add_note is called, and not backward.

I wonder which approach is better, but I tend to approach B, as then the 
code creates the notes in the order they appear in the final core file.
