[Valgrind-users] Adding thread ID to lackey output in Linux (amd64)

[Adrian M. <ac...@yo...>]

Dear all,

I would like to add thread ID to lackey memory tracing output.

I can see where the calls are made in lk_instrument, but was hoping someone
could give me a shortcut to going through all the headers etc by pointing
me to the easiest way to capture the thread id (not the process ID) so I
can add this to the calls.


As an aside - I will also be changing the output to XML so I can apply
library tools directly - presently I use a Groovy script to convert lackey
output to XML and run analysis on that - but could probably save myself a
day or two of wall clock time if I did this directly!

I used lackey for my MSc -

and there are some groovy scripts I used here -

<!DOCTYPE lackeyml [
<!ELEMENT lackeyml(application,(instruction|store|load|modify)*)>
<!ATTLIST lackeyml version CDATA #FIXED 0.1>
<!ATTLIST lackeyml xmlns CDATA #FIXED "http://cartesianproduct.wordpress.com">
