+Release 3.9.0 (XX October 2013)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+3.8.0 is a feature release with many improvements and the usual
+collection of bug fixes.
+
+This release supports X86/Linux, AMD64/Linux, ARM/Linux, PPC32/Linux,
+PPC64/Linux, S390X/Linux, MIPS32/Linux, MIPS64/Linux, ARM/Android,
+X86/Android, X86/MacOSX 10.7 and AMD64/MacOSX 10.7. Support for
+MacOSX 10.8 is significantly improved relative to the 3.8.0 release.

* ==================== TOOL CHANGES ====================
+
* Memcheck:
- - Using the options --show-leak-kinds=kind1,kind2,.. and
- --errors-for-leak-kinds=kind1,kind2,.., each leak kind (definite, indirect,
- possible, reachable) can now be individually reported and/or counted as
- an error.
- In a leak suppression entry, an optional line 'match-leak-kinds:'
- controls which leak kinds are suppressed by this entry.
- This is a.o. useful to avoid definite leaks being "catched"
- by a suppression entry aimed at suppressing possibly lost blocks.
-
- - The option --leak-check-heuristics=heur1,heur2,... can activate
- various heuristics to decrease the number of false positive
- "possible leaks" for C++ code. The available heuristics are
- detecting valid interior pointers to std::stdstring, to new[] allocated
- arrays with elements having destructors and to interior pointers pointing
- to an inner part of a C++ object using multiple inheritance.
-
- - The option --keep-stacktraces controls which stack trace(s) to keep for
- malloc'd and/or free'd blocks. This can be used to obtain more information
- for 'use after free' errors or to decrease Valgrind memory and/or cpu usage
- by recording less information for heap blocks.
-
- - The list of used suppressions (shown when giving the -v option)
- now shows for the leak suppressions how many blocks and bytes were
- suppressed during the last leak search for each suppression.
- The suppression count for a leak suppression shows the total nr
- of loss records which were suppressed by this suppression.
+ - Improvements in handling of vectorised code, leading to
+ significantly fewer false error reports. You need to use the flag
+ --partial-loads-ok=yes to get the benefits of these changes.
+
+ - Better control over the leak checker. It is now possible to
+ specify which leak kinds (definite/indirect/possible/reachable)
+ should be displayed, which should be regarded as errors, and which
+ should be suppressed by a given leak suppression. This is done
+ using the options --show-leak-kinds=kind1,kind2,..,
+ --errors-for-leak-kinds=kind1,kind2,.. and an optional
+ "match-leak-kinds:" line in suppression entries, respectively.
+
+ - Reduced "possible leak" reports from the leak checker by the use
+ of better heuristics. The available heuristics provide detection
+ of valid interior pointers to std::stdstring, to new[] allocated
+ arrays with elements having destructors and to interior pointers
+ pointing to an inner part of a C++ object using multiple
+ inheritance. They can be selected individually using the option
+ The option --leak-check-heuristics=heur1,heur2,...
+
+ - Better control of stacktrace acquisition for heap-allocated
+ blocks. Using the --keep-stacktraces option, it is possible to
+ control independently whether a stack trace is acquired for each
+ allocation and deallocation. This can be used to create better
+ "use after free" errors or to decrease Valgrind's resource
+ consumption by recording less information.
+
+ - Better reporting of leak suppression usage. The list of used
+ suppressions (shown when the -v option is given) now shows, for
+ each leak suppressions, how many blocks and bytes it suppressed
+ during the last leak search.
+
+ - Line numbers for used suppressions. The list of used suppressions
+ (shown when the -v option is given) now shows, for each used
+ suppression, the file name and line number where the suppression
+ is defined.
+
+* Helgrind:
+
+ - False errors resulting from the use of statically initialised
+ mutexes and condition variables (PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALISER, etc)
+ have been removed.
+
+ - False errors resulting from the use of pthread_cond_waits that
+ timeout, have been removed.
* ==================== OTHER CHANGES ====================
- - The default nr of sectors in the translation cache has been
- decreased to 6 on android platforms, and increased to 16
- on all other platforms. A sector (lazily allocated) uses several
- MB depending on the tool (about 40MB for memcheck).
- The option --num-transtab-sectors allows to specify how
- many sectors Valgrind can allocate.
+* Some attempt to tune Valgrind's space requirements to the expected
+ capabilities of the target:
- - Option --merge-recursive-frames=<number> tells Valgrind to
- detect and merge (collapse) recursive calls when recording stack traces.
- When your program has recursive algorithms, this limits
- the memory used by Valgrind for recorded stack traces and avoid
- recording uninteresting repeated calls.
- The value is changeable using the monitor command
- 'v.set merge-recursive-frames'.
+ - The default size of the translation cache has been reduced from 8
+ sectors to 6 on Android platforms, since each sector occupies
+ about 40MB when using Memcheck.
- - valgrind.h has a new request VALGRIND_MONITOR_COMMAND.
- This can be used to execute gdbserver monitor commands from
- the client program.
+ - The default size of the translation cache has been increased to 16
+ sectors on all other platforms, reflecting the fact that large
+ applications require instrumentation and storage of huge amounts
+ of code. For similar reasons, the number of memory mapped
+ segments that can be tracked has been increased by a factor of 6.
- - Addition of GDB server monitor command 'v.info open_fds' that gives the
- list of open file descriptors and additional details.
+ - In all cases, the maximum number of sectors in the translation
+ cache can be controlled by the new flag --num-transtab-sectors.
- - Optional message in the 'v.info n_errs_found' monitor command (e.g.
- 'v.info n_errs_found test 1234 finished'), allowing to have
- a comment string in the process output, separating errors of different
- tests (or test phases).
+* Changes in how debug info (line numbers, etc) is read:
- - Addition of GDB server monitor command 'v.info execontext' that shows
- information about the stack traces recorded by Valgrind.
- This can be used to analyse one possible cause of Valgrind high
- memory usage for some programs.
+ - Valgrind no longer temporarily mmaps the entire object to read
+ from it. Instead, reading is done through a small fixed sized
+ buffer. This avoids virtual memory usage spikes when Valgrind
+ reads debuginfo from large shared objects.
- - Addition of GDB server monitor command
- 'v.do expensive_sanity_check_general' that checks the sanity
- of various Valgrind aspects, including the Valgrind heap.
+ - A new experimental remote debug info server. Valgrind can read
+ debug info from a different machine (typically, a build host)
+ where debuginfo objects are stored. This can save a lot of time
+ and hassle when running Valgrind on resource-constrained targets
+ (phones, tablets) when the full debuginfo objects are stored
+ somewhere else. This is enabled by the --debuginfo-server=
+ option.
- - The list of used suppressions (shown when giving the -v option)
- now gives the filename and line number where the suppression is defined.
+ - Consistency checking between main and debug objects can be
+ disabled using the --allow-mismatched-debuginfo option.
- - remote debuginfo server + overhaul of debuginfo reading
+* Stack unwinding by stack scanning, on ARM. Unwinding by stack
+ scanning can recover stack traces in some cases when the normal
+ unwind mechanisms fail. Stack scanning is best described as "a
+ nasty, dangerous and misleading hack" and so is disabled by default.
+ Use --unw-stack-scan-thresh and --unw-stack-scan-frames to enable
+ and control it.
- - some fixes for OSX 10.8
+* Detection and merging of recursive stack frame cycles. When your
+ program has recursive algorithms, this limits the memory used by
+ Valgrind for recorded stack traces and avoids recording
+ uninteresting repeated calls. This is controlled by the command
+ line option --merge-recursive-frame and by the monitor command
+ "v.set merge-recursive-frames".
- - partial-loads-ok now works for 16 and 32 byte loads
- and in general improved handling of vectorised code on Memcheck
+* New and modified GDB server monitor features:
- - unwind-by-stack-scan for ARM
+ - valgrind.h has a new client request, VALGRIND_MONITOR_COMMAND,
+ that can be used to execute gdbserver monitor commands from the
+ client program.
+ - A new monitor command, "v.info open_fds", that gives the list of
+ open file descriptors and additional details.
+
+ - An optional message in the "v.info n_errs_found" monitor command,
+ for example "v.info n_errs_found test 1234 finished", allowing a
+ comment string to be added to the process output, perhaps for the
+ purpose of separating errors of different tests or test phases.
+
+ - A new monitor command "v.info execontext" that shows information
+ about the stack traces recorded by Valgrind.
+
+ - A new monitor command "v.do expensive_sanity_check_general" to run
+ some internal consistency checks.
+
+* New flag --sigill-diagnostics to control whether a diagnostic
+ message is printed when the JIT encounters an instruction it can't
+ translate. The actual behavior -- delivery of SIGILL to the
+ application -- is unchanged.
