Hi Folks, I recently signed up to this mailing list. I have been watching the activity in this list for a while, and thought it was maybe appropriate to introduce myself first. I am Kumar Rangarajan, and I am from India, and interested in program analysis tools. My experience for the last 6-7 years has been developing/enhancing a very similar tool, Purify! Before that I was with the HPUX compiler team, working on the linker/loader. I was always piqued by Valgrind when I was in Rational/IBM, but couldnt look at it, as it would have obviously violated a thousand rules :-) I have since moved on from IBM and so one of the first things I did was to signup to the Valgrind developer mailing list. I am interested to contribute to Valgrind. I could start off with running your test suites. My company has a bunch of hetrogenous systems (linux/HPUX/Solaris/IA64), which I could probably leverage. I also have a personal Mac(x86), which I could use. I also should add that my company is working with a recent request on this mailing list about moving Valgrind to Solaris/x86. Hopefully that will come thro and we could contribute that back to OS. Any pointers here would certainly help (estimation, documents, etc) Please do let me know if there is anything I can help with. Thanks, :-) - The problem with winning the rat race is that, even if u win, u r still a rat! |

I take it you're aware that there has been previous work on porting
to solaris-x86 and solaris-amd64 at different times.
If you search the archives for the developer list you should find some
details of the people that were involved and how far they got.

Thanks, Tom, for the update. I checked the archives, but as of 2005 (dint go beyond this yet), I see people were still asking for details. Dint see any real activity on this port. Maybe I am mistaken. Maybe I need to dig deeper. Is there anyone out there who has made progress on this platform port ? Would certainly be interested to know who is working on this port currently or where did they last leave it at.. :-) - The problem with winning the rat race is that, even if u win, u r still a rat!

This search should get you most of the posts I think:

Naveen Kumar was the guy working on it. It looks like he was working
on x86 from the mailing list, but I think there was amd64 work as well
as I recall it. He got to the point where it could run a simple
program anyway - so it was running code and making system calls:
