[Valgrind-users] --db-attach to be removed in next valgrind release

[Florian K. <fl...@ei...>]

When valgrind 3.10.0 was released in September 2014, the feature to
attach a debugger using --db-attach was deprecated and scheduled to be
removed in the next feature release.
The rationale for deprecation is valgrind's built-in GDB server. Its
capabilities are superior and it is also less brittle. Detailed
documentation can be found here:
http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/manual-core-adv.html#manual-core-adv.gdbserver

This note is a gentle reminder of that upcoming change. We haven't heard
any objections to the plan and *now* would be a good time to raise them,
if there are any.
