Greetings, We have some bad news. Bryan Meredith, who wrote the leak-checking tool Omega, died earlier this year in a motorcycle accident. We were informed of this recently by one of Bryan's colleagues. We have been informed that Bryan's widow and colleagues would be happy if somebody took over Omega and maintained it, so that his work would not be lost. If anybody is interested in taking over maintainance and development of Omega, please let us know. I believe that Omega's code is not as robust as it could be, but that the tool is already useful to some people, and is worthy of maintainence, further investigation and development. Nick |

As you may know, we are trying to set up a structure so that Omega and other experimental tools can exist inside the existing tree. See discussion at http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=Pine.GSO.4.61.0710051046050.18928%40mulga.csse.unimelb.edu.au That should get actioned in the next week or two weeks. As a first step, maybe you could prepare a version of Omega which compiles against the current svn trunk? J |

hi, I tried this localy too. One change I had to make was in omega/Makefile.am: -if VGP_X86_LINUX +if VG_X86_LINUX and so on and in o_main.c - ** Set up BB - */ - bb =3D emptyIRBB(); + ** Set up BB + */ + bb =3D emptyIRSB(); the later was a very optimistic guess to replace the missing with what =20 sounds similar. it still does not build and I know next to nothing of =20 VG internals. Thanks for looking into this!

Thanks for looking into this! Stefan, I guess you are building against 3.2.3 instead of against the current svn trunk. There are a number of differences. If you check out the trunk (see http://www.valgrind.org/downloads/repository.html) then I imagine this will build and work no problem. J |

I thought it sounded the other way around -- he was building against the trunk, and Omega still is using the 3.2.3 names? Either way, the fixes should be very easy, just small name changes. Nick |

I made the required changes and sent the patch to the list and Julian. There were just a few minor changes required to get it to work. R.
