A release candidate for Valgrind 3.4.0 is available at http://www.valgrind.org/downloads/valgrind-3.4.0.RC1.tar.bz2. Please give it a try on whatever platforms are important for you. Unless any showstopper bugs appear, the final 3.4.0 release will be on 2 January 2009. The NEWS file in the tarball contains a detailed list of changes. Here's a summary: * Memcheck: can now show you the origins of uninitialised values * Helgrind: increased accuracy, scalability, and better error messages * Drd: improved performance, reduced memory use, more functionality * exp-Ptrcheck: a new tool to detect overruns of stack/global arrays * support for latest Linux distros, including gcc-4.4 and glibc-2.9 * frame-level wildcards in suppressions (a frequently requested feature) * Support for the SSSE3 instruction set on x86/amd64 * Many bug fixes J |

I've tried to install the RC in parallel with the release, but it didn't work as I expected: tf@tomasu ~ which valgrind /scratch/sw/bin/valgrind tf@tomasu ~ ls -al /scratch/sw/bin/valgrind* -rwxr-xr-x 1 tf tf 45418 2008-10-29 20:36 /scratch/sw/bin/valgrind -rwxr-xr-x 1 tf tf 45418 2008-12-24 21:05 /scratch/sw/bin/valgrind340 -rwxr-xr-x 1 tf tf 25318 2008-10-29 20:36 /scratch/sw/bin/valgrind-listener -rwxr-xr-x 1 tf tf 25414 2008-12-24 21:05 /scratch/sw/bin/valgrind-listener340 tf@tomasu ~ valgrind --version valgrind-3.4.0.RC1 I configured using `--program-suffix=340'. Sorry for not reporting earlier; I just noticed today that `valgrind --help' had a `track origins' option in it.. Anyway, not a big deal for me, since I won't care for parallel installs once 3.4.0 is official. -tom |
