[Valgrind-users] New file descriptor leakage patch

[Robert W. <rj...@du...>]

Hi all,

Here's the latest version of the file descriptor leakage patch.  It
applies against the CVS head as of Sun May 18.

New in this version:

      * Catch some cases I missed before (creat() and F_DUPFD.)
      * Print out some useful information on leaking sockets.
      * Remove annoying "Attempting to close unopened file descriptor"
        messages.
      * Figure out inherited file descriptors even on machines that
        don't have /proc support compiled into the kernel.  I've never
        come across a machine without /proc support, but it is an
        optional kernel feature, so...
      * Other minor fixes and changes.

This will probably be the last release I make before I make some changes
suggested by Nicholas.  These changes will be to move it out of the core
and into memcheck and to enable it only if a command-line flag is set.

Regards,
 Robert.
