We are pleased to announce a new release of Valgrind, version 3.4.1, available from http://www.valgrind.org. See the attached release notes for details.
Happy (and productive) debugging and profiling, -- The Valgrind Developers Release 3.4.1 (28 February 2009) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3.4.1 is a bug-fix release that fixes some regressions and assertion failures in debug info reading in 3.4.0, most notably incorrect stack traces on amd64-linux on older (glibc-2.3 based) systems. Various other debug info problems are also fixed. A number of bugs in the exp-ptrcheck tool introduced in 3.4.0 have been fixed. In view of the fact that 3.4.0 contains user-visible regressions relative to 3.3.x, upgrading to 3.4.1 is recommended. Packagers are encouraged to ship 3.4.1 in preference to 3.4.0. The fixed bugs are as follows. Note that "n-i-bz" stands for "not in bugzilla" -- that is, a bug that was reported to us but never got a bugzilla entry. We encourage you to file bugs in bugzilla (http://bugs.kde.org/enter_valgrind_bug.cgi) rather than mailing the developers (or mailing lists) directly -- bugs that are not entered into bugzilla tend to get forgotten about or ignored. n-i-bz Fix various bugs reading icc-11 generated debug info n-i-bz Fix various bugs reading gcc-4.4 generated debug info n-i-bz Preliminary support for glibc-2.10 / Fedora 11 n-i-bz Cachegrind and Callgrind: handle non-power-of-two cache sizes, so as to support (eg) 24k Atom D1 and Core2 with 3/6/12MB L2. 179618 exp-ptrcheck crashed / exit prematurely 179624 helgrind: false positive races with pthread_create and recv/open/close/read 134207 pkg-config output contains @VG_PLATFORM@ 176926 floating point exception at valgrind startup with PPC 440EPX 181594 Bogus warning for empty text segment 173751 amd64->IR: 0x48 0xF 0x6F 0x45 (even more redundant rex prefixes) 181707 Dwarf3 doesn't require enumerations to have name 185038 exp-ptrcheck: "unhandled syscall: 285" (fallocate) on x86_64 185050 exp-ptrcheck: sg_main.c:727 (add_block_to_GlobalTree): Assertion '!already_present' failed. 185359 exp-ptrcheck unhandled syscall getresuid() (3.4.1.RC1: 24 Feb 2008, vex r1884, valgrind r9253).
