./devel/lmdbg, Lightweight Modular malloc Debugger

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.1.0, Package name: lmdbg-1.1.0, Maintainer: cheusov

LMDBG is a collection of small tools for collecting and analyzing logs of
malloc/realloc/memalign/free etc. function calls. LMDBG generates full
stacktraces and separates the logging process from analysis, thus allowing
you to analyze application on a per-module basis. Simple but powerful tools
for analisis are also provided.

lmdbg - Meta tool, all in one.
lmdbg-run - Creates malloc/realloc/free/memalign/... logs
lmdbg-sym - Converts addresses to 'file.c:NUM func_name'
lmdbg-leak - Checks for memory leaks
lmdbg-stat - Gathers statistical information about memory allocations
lmdbg-grep - Greps the stackframes
lmdbg-strip - Strips the stackframes
lmdbg-module - Enrichs the stackframes with a module name
lmdbg-sort - Sorts the stackframes by e.g. total allocated bytes,
a number of memory allocations etc.
lmdbg-sysleaks - Filters out system memory leaks e.g. libc's

Log message:
Drop superfluous PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT, "user-destdir" is default these days.
   2012-09-02 20:48:19 by Aleksey Cheusov | Files touched by this commit (3) | Package updated
Log message:
Update to 1.1.0
  Fix in regression tests. Now "make test" exits with non-zero status
  if something fails.

  lmdbg-run:
    - Zero addresses are removed from stacktraces generated by glibc's
      backtrace(3).  This fixes asserts in lmdbg-stat(1).
    - Double "0x" in "info section" were fixed (seen on NetBSD).
    - backtrace(3) from libexecinfo is used instead of builtin
      implementation if the library and execinfo.h are available
      (FreeBSD, NetBSD).

  lmdbg-sym:
    - Fixes. Sometimes addresses were converted to symbols
      incorrectly. The problem was seen on modern Linux distros with
      recent gdb(1).

  lmdbg-stat:
    - Now incompletly read lines (having no LF in the end) are
      ignored.  This fixes crashes and therefore empty output or
      lmdbg(1) when analysed program is killed.
    - Alternative implementation written in awk was removed.

  Build infrastructure was converted to 2-level dirs.
  This requires mk-configure>=0.23.0 for build.

  Minor clean-ups in man pages and Makefiles.

   2012-01-09 20:47:36 by Aleksey Cheusov | Files touched by this commit (3) | Package updated
Log message:
Update to lmdbg-1.0.0
  libstacktrace:
     Remove signal handlers and other garbage.
     All we need is __builtin_frame_address and __builtin_return_address
     builtins and nothing else.

  Documentation files have been moved to subproject "doc".
  Run "mkcmake install-doc" for installing it (or change SUBPRJ_DFLT).

  Only backtrace(3) in libc is accepted as an external implementation
  of stacktrace(3). This may fix build failure on FreeBSD with
  installed libexeinfo.

Log message:
Update to 0.17.0
  Long options have been removed from all programs.
  Use standard single-letter POSIX-compatible options.

  lmdbg-sym:
    - Doesn't accept progname as an argument anymore.
      Use -P option instead.
    - option --with-so was replaced with -s.

  SORRY FOR INCOMPATIBILITIES WITH PREVIOUS RELEASES.

                                    ----------------------------------

  lmdbg:
    - -M option was added. lmdbg(1) is now a meta tools which is able
      to not only collecting memory leaks. See the manual page for
      details.
    - -n option was added
    - -T and -B options were added
    - Regression tests were added for -M

  A lot of improvements and grammar fixes in manual pages.
  Thanks to Nikolai Krot for this.

  lmdbg-stat, tests/test.sh:
    - Fixes for Solaris

  lmdbg-run:
    - options -T and -B were added to lmdbg-run.
    - option -n was added. It disables logging on startup.
      Sending SIGUSR1 signal to the process enables it.
    -f option was added, synonym for -p.

  lmdbg-grep.1:
    - documentation for "bytes" variable

  If set, LMDBG_MODULES_AWK and LMDBG_STRIP_AWK environment variables
  are used as a path to AWK interpreter by "lmdbg-modules" and
  "lmdbg-strip" programs respectively.

  More regression tests
