Really this is the first valgrind +which works reasonably well for systems built with gcc-3.1 and above. + +- Support for Red Hat 8. Mostly this means changes to the thread + support to make thread-local locales work. + +- Fix a serious bug in the DWARF2 debug information reader. DWARF2 is + the debug info format used by gcc-3.1 and above. The bug caused + approximately one third of all addresses to not get mapped to any + source location, so this fix should make a big difference. + +- Better handling of inlined strlen() et al with gcc-3.1 and above. + Versions of valgrind prior to 1.0.4 tended to falsely report + uninitialised value errors in some inlined strlen() functions + created with recent gcc's. 1.0.4 includes a fix for this. The + --avoid-strlen-errors= flag controls the fix; it is enabled by + default. + +- Valgrind now makes use of information from ELF dynamic symbol + tables. This means it can often find function names even in ELF + .so's which have been stripped. + +- The longstanding link-errors caused by missing + __pthread_clock_settime / __pthread_clock_gettime have been fixed, I + hope. These problems particularly afflicted Red Hat 7.3 users for + some reason. + +- Fixed a nasty bug in which valgrind's calloc() was ignoring + alignment requests made with the --alignment= flag. + +- Added an FAQ.txt to the source distribution, to help people work + around commonly encountered problems. + +- Added the flag --weird-hacks=lax-ioctls. This selects more relaxed + checking of ioctl() arguments, which is useful if you're dealing + with ioctls which valgrind knows nothing about and are getting a lot + of errors as a result. + +- Catch uses of __select() and __poll() and treat them as select() and + poll(). + +- Implement (sort-of) pthread_attr_{set,get}guardsize. + +- Implement sem_timedwait(). + +- Implement primary opcode 0x1A (SBB Eb,Gb). + +- Add a small army of new syscalls: + setxattr lsetxattr fsetxattr getxattr fgetxattr listxattr + llistxattr flistxattr removexattr lremovexattr fremovexattr + and ioctls: + SNDCTL_DSP_POST SNDCTL_DSP_RESET SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC + SNDCTL_DSP_SETSYNCRO SNDCTL_DSP_SETDUPLEX + +- Minor documentation updates. + + + Release 1.0.3 (18 Sept 02) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fairly minor things -- stability fixes and a few new syscalls. @@ -170,9 +231,9 @@ bug reports for version 1.0.0.
