[Valgrind-users] valgrind: mmap(0x400000, 704512) failed in UME with error 22 (Invalid argument).

[Donald R. <don...@ny...>]

Hello,

I am using a customized version of valgrind on a debian 7.80 amd64
virtual machine. I am attempting to integrate a tool called catchconv
into valgrind. The original version of catchconv was written in 2007
and was based on valgrind 3.2.2, so I have been trying to update the
version of valgrind to 3.7.0.

I was successful in getting everything to compile, but when I run
valgrind --tool=catchconv, I am getting this error:

valgrind: mmap(0x400000, 704512) failed in UME with error 22 (Invalid argument).
valgrind: this can be caused by executables with very large text, data
or bss segments.


I did see a bug report about this problem here:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=193413

and according to this discussion the problem stemmed from a difference
between how ld and gold linked the modules and assigned the entry
point to valgrind.
The solution that was mentioned was to include the -Wl flag on the linker.
In my make file and the log for the make of valgrind, I see the -Wl
flag used, so I am wondering what else could be causing the problem,
and how I can resolve it.

I am working on a thesis project and valgrind is a major part of the
project, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Donald
