Hi, My name is Mihai Maruseac. I am a final year student in Computer Science at University Politehnica of Bucharest. I've been using Valgrind for some time and think it's a really cool tool for development and debugging and would like to contribute. I thought that a good start is to try to solve a few of the bugs to familiarize ourselves with the codebase and the architecture. We looked into the bug reports for Memcheck and Helgrind and the project suggestions page and found several places where we would like to make a contribution to. However, the information presented on the project page seems to point that the ideas presented there were last updated somewhere at the end of 2005. We would like to know the status of three of the suggestions presented there: * printing floating point values * supporting custom allocators * resource alloc/dealloc checker Mainly, we are interested in the current priorities for Memcheck and Helgrind, what bugs should be solved first, what bugs are easier to begin with, etc. What suggestions do you have for us? What should we do to accomodate with the codebase and architecture and prepare our way for a contribution to Valgrind? Thanks, -- Mihai |
