16 option are deprecated and will be removed in a future valgrind
19 * Ada name demangling is now supported in error messages.
21 * ================== PLATFORM CHANGES =================
23 * S390X added support for the DFLTCC instruction provided by the
24 deflate-conversion facility (z15/arch13).
26 * S390X added support for the instructions provided by the MSA facility
27 and MSA extensions 1-9.
29 * ==================== TOOL CHANGES ===================
31 * ==================== FIXED BUGS ====================
33 The following bugs have been fixed or resolved. Note that "n-i-bz"
34 stands for "not in bugzilla" -- that is, a bug that was reported to us
35 but never got a bugzilla entry. We encourage you to file bugs in
36 bugzilla (https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=valgrind) rather
37 than mailing the developers (or mailing lists) directly -- bugs that
38 are not entered into bugzilla tend to get forgotten about or ignored.

97 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
99 This release supports X86/Linux, AMD64/Linux, ARM32/Linux, ARM64/Linux,
100 PPC32/Linux, PPC64BE/Linux, PPC64LE/Linux, S390X/Linux, MIPS32/Linux,
101 MIPS64/Linux, ARM/Android, ARM64/Android, MIPS32/Android, X86/Android,
102 X86/Solaris, AMD64/Solaris, AMD64/MacOSX 10.12, X86/FreeBSD, AMD64/FreeBSD
103 and ARM64/FreeBSD There is also preliminary support for X86/macOS 10.13,
104 AMD64/macOS 10.13 and nanoMIPS/Linux.
106 * ==================== CORE CHANGES ===================
108 * --track-fds=yes will now also warn about double closing of file
109 descriptors. Printing the context where the file descriptor was
110 originally opened and where it was previously closed.
112 * --track-fds=yes also produces "real" errors now which can be
113 suppressed and work with --error-exitcode. When combined with
114 --xml the xml-output now also includes FdBadClose and FdNotClosed
115 error kinds (see docs/internals/xml-output-protocol5.txt).
117 * The option --show-error-list=no|yes now accepts a new value all.
118 This indicates to also print the suppressed errors.
119 This is useful to analyse which errors are suppressed by which
121 The valgrind monitor command 'v.info all_errors' similarly now
122 accepts a new optional argument 'also_suppressed' to show
123 all errors including the suppressed errors.
125 * ================== PLATFORM CHANGES =================
127 * Added ARM64 support for FreeBSD.
129 * ARM64 now supports dotprod instructions (sdot/udot).
131 * AMD64 better supports code build with -march=x86-64-v3.
132 fused-multiple-add instructions (fma) are now emulated more
133 accurately. And memcheck now handles __builtin_strcmp using 128/256
134 bit vectors with sse4.1, avx/avx2.
136 * S390X added support for NNPA (neural network processing assist)
137 facility vector instructions VCNF, VCLFNH, VCFN, VCLFNL, VCRNF and
140 * X86 recognizes new binutils-2.42 nop patterns.
142 * ==================== TOOL CHANGES ===================
144 * The none tool now also supports xml output.
146 * ==================== FIXED BUGS ====================
148 The following bugs have been fixed or resolved. Note that "n-i-bz"
149 stands for "not in bugzilla" -- that is, a bug that was reported to us
150 but never got a bugzilla entry. We encourage you to file bugs in
151 bugzilla (https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=valgrind) rather
152 than mailing the developers (or mailing lists) directly -- bugs that
153 are not entered into bugzilla tend to get forgotten about or ignored.

226 Release 3.22.0 (31 Oct 2023)
227 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
229 This release supports X86/Linux, AMD64/Linux, ARM32/Linux, ARM64/Linux,
230 PPC32/Linux, PPC64BE/Linux, PPC64LE/Linux, S390X/Linux, MIPS32/Linux,
231 MIPS64/Linux, ARM/Android, ARM64/Android, MIPS32/Android, X86/Android,
232 X86/Solaris, AMD64/Solaris, AMD64/MacOSX 10.12, X86/FreeBSD and
233 AMD64/FreeBSD. There is also preliminary support for X86/macOS 10.13,
234 AMD64/macOS 10.13 and nanoMIPS/Linux.
236 * ==================== CORE CHANGES ===================
238 * A new configure option --with-gdbscripts-dir lets you install
239 the gdb valgrind python monitor scripts in a specific location.
240 For example a distro could use it to install the scripts in a
241 safe load location --with-gdbscripts-dir=%{_datadir}/gdb/auto-load
242 It is also possible to configure --without-gdb-scripts-dir so no
243 .debug_gdb_scripts section is added to the vgpreload library and
244 no valgrind-monitor python scripts are installed at all.
246 * ================== PLATFORM CHANGES =================
248 * Support has been added for FreeBSD 14 and FreeBSD 15.
249 * Add support for the folllowing FreeBSD system calls:
250 close_range, kqueuex, membarrier, timerfd_create,
251 timerfd_settime and timerfd_gettime (all added in FreeBSD 15).
253 * ==================== TOOL CHANGES ===================
255 * Memcheck now tests and warns about the values used for
256 alignment and size. These apply to various functions: memalign,
257 posix_memalign and aligned_alloc in C and various overloads
258 of operators new and delete in C++. The kinds of error that can
260 - invalid alignment, for instance the alignment is usually required
262 - mismatched alignment between aligned allocation and aligned
264 - mismatched size when sized delete is used
265 - bad size for functions that have implementation defined behaviour
266 when the requested size is zero
269 - You can now profile part of a program's execution using the new
270 `CACHEGRIND_START_INSTRUMENTATION` and `CACHEGRIND_STOP_INSTRUMENTATION`
271 client requests, along with the new `--instr-at-start` option. The
272 behaviour is the same as Callgrind's equivalent functionality.
274 * ==================== FIXED BUGS ====================
276 The following bugs have been fixed or resolved. Note that "n-i-bz"
277 stands for "not in bugzilla" -- that is, a bug that was reported to us
278 but never got a bugzilla entry. We encourage you to file bugs in
279 bugzilla (https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=valgrind) rather
280 than mailing the developers (or mailing lists) directly -- bugs that
281 are not entered into bugzilla tend to get forgotten about or ignored.

329 (3.22.0.RC2: 26 Oct 2023)
331 Release 3.21.0 (28 Apr 2023)
332 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
334 This release supports X86/Linux, AMD64/Linux, ARM32/Linux, ARM64/Linux,
335 PPC32/Linux, PPC64BE/Linux, PPC64LE/Linux, S390X/Linux, MIPS32/Linux,
336 MIPS64/Linux, ARM/Android, ARM64/Android, MIPS32/Android, X86/Android,
337 X86/Solaris, AMD64/Solaris, AMD64/MacOSX 10.12, X86/FreeBSD and
338 AMD64/FreeBSD. There is also preliminary support for X86/macOS 10.13,
339 AMD64/macOS 10.13 and nanoMIPS/Linux.
341 * ==================== CORE CHANGES ===================
343 * When GDB is used to debug a program running under valgrind using
344 the valgrind gdbserver, GDB will automatically load some
345 python code provided in valgrind defining GDB front end commands
346 corresponding to the valgrind monitor commands.
347 These GDB front end commands accept the same format as
348 the monitor commands directly sent to the Valgrind gdbserver.
349 These GDB front end commands provide a better integration
350 in the GDB command line interface, so as to use for example
351 GDB auto-completion, command specific help, searching for
352 a command or command help matching a regexp, ...
353 For relevant monitor commands, GDB will evaluate arguments
354 to make the use of monitor commands easier.
355 For example, instead of having to print the address of a variable
356 to pass it to a subsequent monitor command, the GDB front end
357 command will evaluate the address argument. It is for example
359 (gdb) memcheck who_points_at &some_struct sizeof(some_struct)
362 $2 = (some_struct_type *) 0x1130a0 <some_struct>
363 (gdb) p sizeof(some_struct)
365 (gdb) monitor who_point_at 0x1130a0 40
367 * The vgdb utility now supports extended-remote protocol when
368 invoked with --multi. In this mode the GDB run command is
369 supported. Which means you don't need to run gdb and valgrind
370 from different terminals. So for example to start your program
371 in gdb and run it under valgrind you can do:
373 (gdb) set remote exec-file prog
375 (gdb) target extended-remote | vgdb --multi
378 * The behaviour of realloc with a size of zero can now
379 be changed for tools that intercept malloc. Those
380 tools are memcheck, helgrind, drd, massif and dhat.
381 Realloc implementations generally do one of two things
382 - free the memory like free() and return NULL
383 (GNU libc and ptmalloc).
384 - either free the memory and then allocate a
385 minimum sized block or just return the
386 original pointer. Return NULL if the
387 allocation of the minimum sized block fails
388 (jemalloc, musl, snmalloc, Solaris, macOS).
389 When Valgrind is configured and built it will
390 try to match the OS and libc behaviour. However
391 if you are using a non-default library to replace
392 malloc and family (e.g., musl on a glibc Linux or
393 tcmalloc on FreeBSD) then you can use a command line
394 option to change the behaviour of Valgrind:
395 --realloc-zero-bytes-frees=yes|no [yes on Linux glibc, no otherwise]
397 * ================== PLATFORM CHANGES =================
399 * Make the address space limit on FreeBSD amd64 128Gbytes
400 (the same as Linux and Solaris, it was 32Gbytes)
402 * ==================== TOOL CHANGES ===================
405 - When doing a delta leak_search, it is now possible to only
406 output the new loss records compared to the previous leak search.
407 This is available in the memcheck monitor command 'leak_search'
408 by specifying the "new" keyword or in your program by using
409 the client request VALGRIND_DO_NEW_LEAK_CHECK.
410 Whenever a "delta" leak search is done (i.e. when specifying
411 "new" or "increased" or "changed" in the monitor command),
412 the new loss records have a "new" marker.
413 - Valgrind now contains python code that defines GDB memcheck
414 front end monitor commands. See CORE CHANGES.
415 - Performs checks for the use of realloc with a size of zero.
416 This is non-portable and a source of errors. If memcheck
417 detects such a usage it will generate an error
418 realloc() with size 0
419 followed by the usual callstacks.
420 A switch has been added to allow this to be turned off:
421 --show-realloc-size-zero=yes|no [yes]
424 - The option ---history-backtrace-size=<number> allows to configure
425 the number of entries to record in the stack traces of "old"
426 accesses. Previously, this number was hardcoded to 8.
427 - Valgrind now contains python code that defines GDB helgrind
428 front end monitor commands. See CORE CHANGES.
431 - `--cache-sim=no` is now the default. The cache simulation is old and
432 unlikely to match any real modern machine. This means only the `Ir`
433 event are gathered by default, but that is by far the most useful
435 - `cg_annotate`, `cg_diff`, and `cg_merge` have been rewritten in
436 Python. As a result, they all have more flexible command line
437 argument handling, e.g. supporting `--show-percs` and
438 `--no-show-percs` forms as well as the existing `--show-percs=yes`
439 and `--show-percs=no`.
440 - `cg_annotate` has some functional changes.
441 - It's much faster, e.g. 3-4x on common cases.
442 - It now supports diffing (with `--diff`, `--mod-filename`, and
443 `--mod-funcname`) and merging (by passing multiple data files).
444 - It now provides more information at the file and function level.
445 There are now "File:function" and "Function:file" sections. These
446 are very useful for programs that use inlining a lot.
447 - Support for user-annotated files and the `-I`/`--include` option
448 has been removed, because it was of little use and blocked other
450 - The `--auto` option is renamed `--annotate`, though the old
451 `--auto=yes`/`--auto=no` forms are still supported.
452 - `cg_diff` and `cg_merge` are now deprecated, because `cg_annotate`
453 now does a better job of diffing and merging.
454 - The Cachegrind output file format has changed very slightly, but in
455 ways nobody is likely to notice.
458 - Valgrind now contains python code that defines GDB callgrind
459 front end monitor commands. See CORE CHANGES.
462 - Valgrind now contains python code that defines GDB massif
463 front end monitor commands. See CORE CHANGES.
466 - A new kind of user request has been added which allows you to
467 override the 1024 byte limit on access count histograms for blocks
468 of memory. The client request is DHAT_HISTOGRAM_MEMORY.
470 * ==================== FIXED BUGS ====================
472 The following bugs have been fixed or resolved. Note that "n-i-bz"
473 stands for "not in bugzilla" -- that is, a bug that was reported to us
474 but never got a bugzilla entry. We encourage you to file bugs in
475 bugzilla (https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=valgrind) rather
476 than mailing the developers (or mailing lists) directly -- bugs that
477 are not entered into bugzilla tend to get forgotten about or ignored.
