Looks all ok to me.
On my side, there are several things in the pipe line, some
are ready or should be ready soon:
- improved stack address info description (patch ready, need review)
- enable vgdb ptrace invoker for aarch64 (and re-enable ptrace for arm)
- helgrind better support for Ada tasks
(still waiting feedback from Ada developers!!!)
Otherwise, working (time permitting) on various small or bigger subjects
- some more improvements in helgrind error messages
(e.g. thread names)
- fix the helgrind false positive with TLS variable
- optimise memcheck vbits storev32/storev64 for
known at JIT time Vbits values
- inlined stacktrace printing in stacktrace
(this would be useful for properly suppressing errors in inlined
functions). Probably not a minor work (and I need to improve
my dwarf knowledge for this)
