Release notes for Valgrind<br>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>
If you are building a binary package of Valgrind for distribution,<br>
please read README_PACKAGERS.  It contains some important information.<br>
<br>
If you are developing Valgrind, please read README_DEVELOPERS.  It contains<br>
some useful information.<br>
<br>
For instructions on how to build/install, see the end of this file.<br>
<br>
If you have problems, consult the FAQ to see if there are workarounds.<br>
<br>
<br>
Executive Summary<br>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>
Valgrind is a framework for building dynamic analysis tools. There are<br>
Valgrind tools that can automatically detect many memory management<br>
and threading bugs, and profile your programs in detail. You can also<br>
use Valgrind to build new tools.<br>
<br>
The Valgrind distribution currently includes six production-quality<br>
tools: a memory error detector, two thread error detectors, a cache<br>
and branch-prediction profiler, a call-graph generating cache abd<br>
branch-prediction profiler, and a heap profiler. It also includes<br>
three experimental tools: a heap/stack/global array overrun detector,<br>
a different kind of heap profiler, and a SimPoint basic block vector<br>
generator.<br>
<br>
Valgrind is closely tied to details of the CPU, operating system and to<br>
a lesser extent, compiler and basic C libraries. This makes it difficult<br>
to make it portable.  Nonetheless, it is available for the following<br>
platforms: <br>
<br>
- X86/Linux<br>
- AMD64/Linux<br>
- PPC32/Linux<br>
- PPC64/Linux<br>
- ARM/Linux<br>
- x86/MacOSX<br>
- AMD64/MacOSX<br>
- S390X/Linux<br>
- MIPS32/Linux<br>
- MIPS64/Linux<br>
<br>
Note that AMD64 is just another name for x86_64, and Valgrind runs fine<br>
on Intel processors.  Also note that the core of MacOSX is called<br>
"Darwin" and this name is used sometimes.<br>
<br>
Valgrind is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2. <br>
Read the file COPYING in the source distribution for details.<br>
<br>
However: if you contribute code, you need to make it available as GPL<br>
version 2 or later, and not 2-only.<br>
<br>
<br>
Documentation<br>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>
A comprehensive user guide is supplied.  Point your browser at<br>
$PREFIX/share/doc/valgrind/manual.html, where $PREFIX is whatever you<br>
specified with --prefix= when building.<br>
<br>
<br>
Building and installing it<br>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>
To install from the Subversion repository :<br>
<br>
  0. Check out the code from SVN, following the instructions at<br>
     http://www.valgrind.org/downloads/repository.html.<br>
<br>
  1. cd into the source directory.<br>
<br>
  2. Run ./autogen.sh to setup the environment (you need the standard<br>
     autoconf tools to do so).<br>
<br>
  3. Continue with the following instructions...<br>
<br>
To install from a tar.bz2 distribution:<br>
<br>
  4. Run ./configure, with some options if you wish.  The only interesting<br>
     one is the usual --prefix=/where/you/want/it/installed.<br>
<br>
  5. Run "make".<br>
<br>
  6. Run "make install", possibly as root if the destination permissions<br>
     require that.<br>
<br>
  7. See if it works.  Try "valgrind ls -l".  Either this works, or it<br>
     bombs out with some complaint.  In that case, please let us know<br>
     (see www.valgrind.org).<br>
<br>
Important!  Do not move the valgrind installation into a place<br>
different from that specified by --prefix at build time.  This will<br>
cause things to break in subtle ways, mostly when Valgrind handles<br>
fork/exec calls.<br>
