I'm not sure I understand. If it's set up at configure-time, why is it a problem for distributors? The only problem I can see with a configure-time setup is if a person has more than one kernel on the same system, or changes their kernel's memory layout. But Valgrind could check at startup that the memory layout matches what it saw at configure-time, and abort/warn if it doesn't. Or is there a problem here that I'm not seeing? N |
