Sorry this fell through the cracks. One underlying problem is that, some time back in 2003, I learnt just enough about x86 segment stuff to hack up what's currently in Valgrind, and then promptly forgot about it. So I'm not in much of a position to make an informed judgement now. That said .. I would be OK with a partial fix which improves Valgrind's SS handling enough to make Wine work, so long as it doesn't create a situation where other cases are silently handled incorrectly. That is, if the fix only moves forwards on the correctness scale, and doesn't introduce any regressions. On rereading https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344139#c1 I see that you have a candidate patch (http://ix.io/gKt, "Correctly handle the SS prefix when explicitly specified.") which appears to have the abovementioned properties. Is that correct? J |
