LMDBG

Release Notes: A fix in regression tests. lmdbg-run: zero addresses are removed from stacktraces generated by glibc's backtrace(3). This fixes asserts in lmdbg-stat(1). Double "0x" issues in the "info section" were fixed (seen on NetBSD). backtrace(3) from libexecinfo (if available) is used instead of the built-in implementation. lmdbg-sym: a few bugs were fixed in conversion of addresses to symbols. lmdbg-stat: incompletely read lines are now ignored, so there are no more assert(3)s when an application being debugged is killed. An alternative implementation written in awk was removed.

Release Notes: This release adds a lot of improvements and fixes in manual pages, new capabilities in lmdbg, lmdbg-run, and lmdbg-sym, and minor fixes to lmdbg-stat. lmdbg is now a meta tool which is able to do many more things, not just find memory leaks.

Release Notes: Logging of calloc(3) invocations is disabled on glibc-based systems (Linux, GNU/kFreeBSD, and maybe others) because lmdbg-run fails on them. Minor clean-ups, fixes, and improvements. mk-configure >= 0.20 is required for building.

Release Notes: New tools lmdbg-strip and lmdbg-modules. lmdbg-sort has a new "num" sorting field. Minor fixes and improvements. lmdbg-grep has new variables to check: "op", "op_type", and "bytes"; and a new field to grep: "module". Minor improvements and fixes for lmdbg-stat, lmdbg, lmdbg-run, and internal tools lmdbg-m2s and lmdbg-s2m. Fixes for warning messages produced by gcc. More regression tests.

Release Notes: New tools: lmdbg-stat, lmdbg-grep, and lmdbg-sort for collecting and analyzing statistical information about memory allocations. lmdbg-run has the new options -S and -M for generating shortened stack traces. lmdbg-sym has a new option -p for obtaining the program name from lmdbg-run's output. 'mkcmake test' removes its temporary files.
